Photo closeup of rime ice formed on lichen-covered boulder. All of the sharp points of ice are tightly clustered together and pointing in the same direction. Same location as in upper left photo, but different boulder.

   Beauty was abound when I snowshoed up a mountain earlier this week. While the views at the summit of nearby mountain peaks/valleys were beautiful, so were the small features at my feet. Check out the rime ice that formed on the boulders. This ice forms in windy fog and points into the wind as it is forming. #ice #mountains #lichen
