Builder Sam has been busy with family from Australia for the past six weeks and has not been able to do any construction in Oak Leaf Forest.
Sam took me out to see some ice sculptures, as I think she was feeling rather guilty for her absence.
Can you believe that the sculptors start out with a solid block of ice and just carve away bits and pieces until something magical emerges?
Even with all my realty skills, I doubt very much that I would be able to sell this ice house! Too cold!
Although very pretty, the ice was also VERY slippery. (And yes, I did fall once!)
I can soar with the ice eagle!
Wherever you are, stay warm!
Cheerio,
Isabelle
Those ice sculptures are beautiful! I have never seen them before so they are quite interesting to me.
ReplyDeleteYou are adorable, Isabelle- as always! <3
Thank you Jordy. You are so sweet. Yes, the sculptures were really fascinating to see up close and not to mention VERY cold!
DeleteJust stunning..I am always blown away by how they can take a block of ice and whittle it away into a preconceived masterpiece...amazing! Sorry, you fell once though ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Farrah,
DeleteI am also amazed at what people can create with a chain-saw!
Fortunately I didn't get hurt (or scratch my face paint) when I fell. Sam did manage to get an epic picture of me tumbling to the ground after checking out the ice house, but I did not want top publish it.
Those ice sculptures are amazing! I have seen some before (after all, I am in a state that has lots of snow and ice!) but I too am amazed at what can be done with a block of ice!
ReplyDeleteHi Phyllis,
DeleteIt is funny how humans CHOOSE to live in places that have snow and ice. At least they make the most of it and find creative ways to enjoy the harsh elements. Ice sculptures are pretty neat.
Hi Isabelle,
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful the are, you are very lucky that Sam took you to see them. They are all very unique, but my favourites would have to be the diamond ring and the eagle. Let Sam know we missed her and it's good to see you back posting once again.
Hugs,

Hi Xanadu!
DeleteThank you and I missed talking to all of you as well. Good to be back.
The eagle was my favorite sculpture too!
Wonderful ice sculptures !!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I thought they were so interesting that I just had to share. Glad you liked them.
DeleteSo beautiful! It's amazing that people actually can make such sculptures :-), thank you for the lovely pictures!
ReplyDeleteThanks Night Owl. I found it really amazing as well. Humans are a pretty creative bunch!
DeleteAh Isabelle! It looks like you and Sam had quite a bit of fun on the ice! :D The sculptures are all so detailed and look especially good with the sun shining through them. Seems that it was a fun day! :))

Hi there Elizabeth!
DeleteWe had a really fun time at the park, although it was a little cold. (Let's say, 'freezing' was more like it.) The temperature was 9˚F (-12˚C) so we didn't spend too much time there.
It was extremely interesting to see and be able to touch the sculptures.
Really awesome - thank you for taking us with you on this tour. And good to see you had loads of fun - and builder Sam could gain some strength for future projects... ;O)

DeleteHi girls! The two of you look fabulous in your ice wonderland! That ice cottage is incredible. Keep having fun!
