Leaf Slider

2020-11-24 By Roger Edwards

Leaf Slider

The fall 2020 ice storm didn’t produce large amounts, but instead, caused its havoc by loading small thicknesses on still-leafed, often still-green trees, such as this.  The net effect was the same as four times the ice load, or more, during true winter.  Here, a crazy variant of ice accumulation occurred when the initial covering of the leaf slid nearly all the way off, but stopped, having been glued to the very bottom of the leaf, in the nick of time, by a thinner layer in the process of freezing on its surface.  This was a miniaturized version of what I found at a stop sign in 2010.

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story. After all, meaningful photography is much more than just picture-taking; it is visually rendering a moment in place and time from a perspective like none other. As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
