Donna MacIntosh took advantage of the morning sunshine and the drip, drip, drip of melting snow from the day before that froze in ice bubbles as the evening grew colder. She photographed these ice formations and the reflections within them, up close and personal. It's amazing how crystal clear these icy bubbles that formed can be.
Here, once again, we get to witness the beauty that nature and something as simple as melting and freezing again can create. The last two photos remind me of the ice you dump out of your cooler after a day at the beach, all stuck together, but still looking like melted cubes. Let's hope that the melting continues!

Great captures. I don't think I've seen anything quite like that before. They certainly are neat looking.

Of course they look like gemstones Shirley...... after all, technically ice IS a mineral! ;-)
