[QUOTE="snaphappy, post: 262156, member: 12198"] It's the same look I get from all my family when I have my camera :) Day #39 Ice cubes- Last night I got balloons and food colour for this attempt. I used hot water wanting to speed up the freezing process but I'm thinking it was too fast?? I filled them all by 7:30pm, placed them on my front step and by 10pm they were solid ice. I didn't remove balloons until this morning but they were all cracked. I had hoped it would warm up a bit and allow the ice to be a little shiny but it was too cold and stayed dull all day even in the full sun. Colour in my white yard [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]71693._xfImport[/ATTACH] Thought the dye mixing and freezing patterns interesting [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]71694._xfImport[/ATTACH] The sun behind me gave much better colour but line up didn't work out so well. We haven't had new snow in a couple of weeks so find untrampled white snow isn't easy :) [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]71696._xfImport[/ATTACH] Supposed to warm up so we'll see how long they last Magpies this morning [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]71701._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]71702._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
