The Kingdom of Ice   February 04, 2025 Last Thursday, I went on a walk with a friend downtown and we stopped by Ithaca Falls. It was in the mid-20s, which was better than it had been for a week or two. The waterfalls had turned the place into The Kingdom of Ice. The Falls had cauliflower-like growths of ice, but the whole area had been flooded with water, so it was impossible to tell where the shore ended and the stream that came from the falls began. It looked cool and no one else was around the area. I asked Sue to take a picture. Water is actually flowing on the left and right edges of the middle third of the falls. And there's a narrow cutaway 30 feet beyond me with fast rushing water, and I assume the ice within 10 feet of it is probably thin. I didn't want to venture out to see where it got dangerous. Anyway, January was more or less a typical old-school winter. The full resoluteion picture is here.

I tend to doodle. Over the years, I've accumulated lots of random sketches of things, sometimes people, sometimes things, and sometimes just abstract lines. The basic idea on these pages is for me to slowly scan in highlights from my collection of random quick doodles. I also am providing a place where I can explain what it is or what motivated it or perhaps some reason why I'm not to blame. With the sketches of people, their name may be hand-written, or there might be a talk title provided, but I will tend to avoid providing full names. I don't mind if people know who they are, I just don't want them coming up on search engine hits, since that might be a bit rude.

Note that the images are PNGs with transparency. Mozilla and Firefox properly render them. Safari too, I think. Internet Exporer doesn't. I don't care.
