Cracking up

The ice in the pond now has several zig zag cracks over it.  It's still fairly thick but the edges have thawed.  You can still see the frozen bubbles beneath the surface.  

It was quite a hard photo to take because of the reflection of the sky making everything look misty white.  I found the 'dehaze' tool in Lightroom really helped.

Several new trees have been planted on the green over the road.  I've posted a photo in extra as a way of tracking their progress.
