Ice jams often form on the Red River in Spring causing sudden rises in the water levels. Below are some photos of an ice jam on the river and beautiful ice formations on some posts after the water receded.
Enjoy!

The same day I took the photos in the previous post I walked to the other side of the bridge and found these lovely ice formations. It appears that when the water passed through the bridge into quieter waters little eddies formed along the curves in the river. The swirling motion of the water seems to have frozen the “frothy water” into these beautiful little ice circles. They reminded me of pottery serving platters. At the very least, these are very unusual ice formations and I have never seen anything like this before.
A closer look below.
Enjoy!

Whiteshell Provincial Park at the end of February. I was surprised to see so much open water all around this early in the season. The Rennie River was running freely in a few areas. This lovely reflection on a blue sky day caught my eye. Here are a few other photos of spring waters in the Whiteshell.
Below the churning waters breaking through the ice.
Enjoy!
