The letter "I"

This block of Ice fell off my roof and didn't quite finish melting in the recent thaw.
It looks like a transparent critter oozing its way across my deck...

  4. I also thought it was a jellyfish. Great shot, and glad it didn’t fall on you.

  5. Put me down for the jellyfish too! Nice to see ice that isn't jagged and rough. It doesn't look as cold!

  8. After months of medical classes it looks very much like a trasparent white blood cell. Very cool shot!

  10. At least they are not mortal enemies of the Klingon Empire as were the "tribbles". Now we can have nightmares of something slimy and slippery oozong its way across the floor while we are sleeping.
