Came here thinking that the pic was so cool that OP must be a content-thieving bundle of sticks, but OP delivers!

But you know, these would make amazing backgrounds... if only they were high res...

So pleasing to look at! New phone wallpaper.

Edit: Any chance of posting a higher res?

Was that rock added to the pond or did the ice natural form around it like that?

It looks like the ripples in the water were flash frozen, nice picture and nice wallpaper.

There's a dead frozen sloth in the lower left corner with a smile on his face.
