Snow is unkind to visionary ice blob art

Greetings once again!

More time passed.  Snow fell.  Blobs became obscured by snow.  We noticed, among other things, that the oddly deep snow around the JMP tree was deep because it was in fact a snowdrift in natural place for a deep snowdrift!  Apparently a natural place for a snowdrift is a bad place for blobs, as we discovered when more snow fell and the wind blow once again.

In addition, the sun came out, irradiating our blobs with no mercy.  Apparently the dyes rapidly bleach when exposed to direct sunlight.  Who knew? 



High winds are fun for kite-flying, but perhaps not for keeping blobs in trees.  










Finally, we closed the book on the chapter "Ice Blobs In and Around James Madison Park" and opened a new chapter: "Mysterious Ice on Lake Mendota."  



This winter has been very, very cold.  The ice is very, very thick.
It speaks to the blobs, and they respond, and so do we.

Cheers!
