November 22


The pond at Moore State Park is skimmed over with ice, likely having formed a couple of days ago during the cold night in the teens. Even with day temps running in the 40s, it isn’t enough to turn back the tide of the coming freeze.

Water still flows freely underneath the bridge that crosses the spillway here. At the edge, there rests the shelf of the now thickening ice, where the flow beneath carries small bubbles and cast off detritus from the growing season. They emerge only for a moment before falling off the precipice and to the holding pond below, waiting in queue to enter the cataract of the mill cascade.
