Leave it to me to trash the entire blogosphere with a rapidly melting post. Now where did I leave that mop again?

Nicely done an out of this world shot!!! Cheers Nonoy Manga
That is very kind of you to say!
Thank you so much N.M.!
🙂
Reblogged this on Conceptual Art.
I’m glad it was you, and not me spilling something again! Cool pic.
Ha! Someones got to do all the… OOPS! Hang on, Patti… little orange juice malfunction over here…
😉
I was going to lick the screen, but fortunately your movie quote warned me off.
Hahaha…
The way my screen usually looks it seems like someone’s been licking it!
🙂
Careful it doesn’t stick ….
I’m okay… I’m okay…
(i wonder why things like links and embedded video etc. doesn’t show up in the comments with this theme… they show up just fine from my dashboard…
😦
As soon as I say that it shows up here, too.
🙂
Truly awesome shot! I love the bubbles 🙂 And don’t worry, if you leave it long enough it will dry by itself 😉
Thanks so much, Ms. F!
The bubbles are my favorite part, too (I even sorted through all the ice in the ice-tray to find one that seemed to have the best ones)!
Hahaha… good to know! I have had a few fans going, too… just in case!
🙂
It’s an interesting detail. The ice can freeze everything on the earth.
Thank you very much, sir!
So true! It’s incredible to think about the things water can (and does) do!
🙂
Great work Bob, Amazing 🙂
Thank you so much, Jake!
You are always very kind to say such nice things!
🙂
Now that´s what I call a REFRESHING post! Can you add some ice to my DIet Coke, please? 😉
Oh, Juana! It’s so very, very nice to see you!
Your family has been in my thoughts…
I sincerely hope everyone has been doing okay…
(and thank you so much for your kind comment as well, of course)!
🙂
Love the little droplets – the B&W really brings out the patterns. I also wonder how it would look in color. Maybe that’s Ice Abstract #2. 🙂
Thanks so much, Ms. C! Those were my favorite part, too. It was kind of funny… I sorted through every ice-cube in the freezer to find the best bubbles…
🙂
I like your black and white minimalism!
greetings by
That is very kind of you to say, Frizz!
Thank you, sir!
🙂
Another excellent image SIG. As minimal as it is I still find a little bit more every time I look at it. Top notch sir!!
Thanks so much, Astra!
I’m often a fan of minimalism, but I was hoping there were enough little details in this one to be off interest…
🙂
It does look refreshing! It also sort of reminds me of a cloud or maybe a wave taken with an underwater camera. It’s very COOL! (Get it? Cause it’s ice? Ha. Yeah. That happened….) 😛
Yes, I can definitely see that, Annabelle! Or maybe an UNDERWATER CLOUD! Wait… does that happen?!
🙂
If you hadn’t said what that was…. I would have thought you’d taken a shot of the surface of the moon. Nicely done!
Thanks, Mr. B!
Hahaha… well, sometimes it does seem like I’m on the moon, so that seems like it would’ve been appropriate!
🙂
May i have a tall gin and tonic with mine please?
But of course!
🙂
Needs to be in some gin.
Classic!
🙂
Um, your fridge might need defrosting 😯
Hahaha…
Maybe…
the door still closes though.
Almost.
🙂
Ice one! Hahaha!
Ha!
Buh-dun-dun!
🙂
Wow! But what’s this? Ice? Anyway, it looks amazing Mr. SIG. 🙂
Thanks, Ms. B!
Yeah… just me rummaging through the freezer again!
🙂
LOVE!! I can see this hanging in a home or gallery. Seriously. I really like this one, SIG.
Look like water splashing, and cold water at that. 🙂
Hugs xx
Cold water sure sounds nice over these summer months, doesn’t it?!
Thank you very much, Deb!
🙂
Your comment is so funny.
For me the best of abstract is that it keeps me looking, and this one sure does. Great work.
I’m very happy to hear that, S.F… thank you!
Especially since writing is definitely not my strong suit… it usually takes me at least half-an-hour just to write a one or two sentence long blurb here!
🙂
Amazing photo, Inky! I see the back of a skull in there somehow…
I’ll never forget the photos I took a yr or two ago of the ice on the windshield of my car. Those crystals are one of the most beautiful natural creations ever.
It’s SO funny you mention that! I didn’t see that at first, but Annabelle noticed that right away. Then I saw it, too. SO much so, that in the end I finally rotated this whole thing 90 degrees in the hopes it would become a bit less prominent… still shows up pretty well, though… strange…
🙂
The best thing about ice, for me, is the word “crevasse”. No crevasses here, but I do love those bubbles.
You mean… ‘crevasse’ even beats out ‘Vanilla Ice’?!
🙂
Whoa, maximising the minimalist here with so much happening in this wonderful splash of almost steaming bubbles!!!
Hahaha… you should have seen me staring at the ice-cube tray, Ms. K…
I’m sure it was quite a sight!
🙂
I think I see a woolly mammoth embedded deep in that ice floe.
Dumb & Dumber is a secret guilty pleasure of mine. Classic.
It’s probably related to me somehow.
Me, too Peg!
Hey… you wanna’ hear the most annoying sound in the world?!
🙂
Classic toung to icy pole: I double dog dare you. A christmas story.
Hahaha…
’tis the season for getting stuck!
🙂
Brilliant this one SIG 🙂 🙂
Androgoth
Always good material for Abstracts and Adverts 😉 Nice composition with the bubbles and fault lines Bob 🙂
Thanks so much, Martin!
HA! You should have seen me staring at the ice-cube tray trying to decide which one to try first… it must have looked a bit strange!
🙂
Very cool. 🙂 In spite of the recent heat wave, I can wait for winter.
I hear that!
It’s a bit on the HOT side in STL right now for me as well…
I’ll take that over frostbite any day, though.
🙂
LOVE this!!! look forward to catching up on all you’re fantastic photography /// ok it has taken me forever to leave a comment!!!! it makes me log in with Facebook or twitter or something…?!
Hahaha… This probably gives the impression I’ve been staring at a few too many beverages!
No worries, B! Well… except for the FB / Twitter part… yikes! I’m sorry to hear that… sounds RIDICULOUSLY frustrating!
🙂
is that ice without coke? NO COKE?
HA!
I know! I guess I must have finished it all off before I ever got the lens cap off the camera!
🙂
Ice is the last thing I wanna see. It was -4 degrees C here yesterday. My backyard looked like a frozen arctic wasteland. This morning it is already 6 deg, much more pleasant
Oh, man… sorry to hear that, Mr. M! It’s been getting pretty hot here of late… over 100 F today I think. I’m not going to complain, though, because even though that’s a bit on the warm side for me I still prefer it to the freezing cold!
🙂
Michelle is in England visiting family at the moment so she’s missing winter here & enjoying summer there. Lucky girl
Missing out on winter always sounds like a good thing.
Missing out on winter AND getting to visit England sounds like a REALLY good thing!
I’ve never been… someday, though, I hope…
🙂
Oh Robert, I love this one. A favourite, for sure. So much to look at! Happy dancing eyes for me!
Thank you very much, S.E! I image I was quite a sight when preparing for this shot… rummaging around for ‘ice / water holders’… searching through ice-cube trays in search of what I thought might be the most interesting piece of ice… must have looked very silly!
🙂
The kind of image you cannot peel your eyes off when you live in the tropics and it’s sweltering outside. Nice work!
Why, thank you! Very much!
I can imagine that is true! Although it’s starting to get dangerously close to winter around my neck of the woods… and I’m starting to think a photo of some nice, warm sand might have a similar effect for me!
🙂
Like an explosion from outer space.
Or maybe it’s the skin of an alien? 😉
Ooo… I like that, Malin! I hadn’t thought of that!
🙂
We do like aliens, don’t we? 😉
