This is a repost from my East Street Weather Blog, so sorry for the double exposure to those of you who subscribe to both. I came across this while nordic skiing nearby. There were several impressions in the snow beneath a row of paper birch trees. The chickadees had been feeding on the seed.

Terraced

The reality of this scene was a little difficult to shoot. The depression was probably 4-6″ deep, and the ice had formed progressive terraces in built-up layers. A thin, transparent layer of ice covered the whole thing, leaves, log and all. I shot a bit into the sun to capture some of the reflection off the surface ice.
