Ice Bird

I found a treasure this morning. I was lifting the wheel barrel up off the hay and I heard a crack* I looked down in the ice and snow and spotted a beak and the head shape of a bird. I lifted the piece of ice up and it had the wings, body and tail of a bird. It was sturdy about 1/2" thick and almost a foot long.

I found this piece of ice and as you can see it looks like a regal bird.




I held the ice up to the sun and saw two willow leaves frozen inside it. I noticed how it had feather like details and a tail.

I wondered if it would sit on a branch so I took it to the backyard and place it on a snowy blue spruce branch. It balanced perfectly and I was able to take the photograph.



Ice Bird Treasure found under the wheel barrel.





This Ice Bird was as beautiful as a precious jewel. I placed it near a log and allowed the water and elements to take their course.
