Ice tree

Chosen Pick of the Month!

The photographer was driving to a basketball game when she noticed this tree and its unusual ice formation during a cold spell. She wrote: "I saw this tree on the bank of the Pend Oreille River and had to stop and take a look. I am not sure how, but it looks like the ice grew up the tree. It was fascinating. I walked all around the tree fascinated by the whole thing. It looked to me like the ice grew up the roots and just kept growing." She added that some of the tree's roots are hanging over the bank into the river. Taken Dec. 17.
