This picture shows the "honeycombing" of ice as it melts in the spring.
The next four pictures are of ice crystals that formed on some very dark ice near the Community Park on the West Branch of the Red River. Beneath the ice you can see branches and stumps on the river bottom.
This was in a pool along the Red River in the spring of 2003.
