I thought I would share some pictures I took when we went up to Alton Illinois for the Alton-Audubon Eagle Ice Festival.
On the Illinois side of the Mississippi River they had some ice carvings in the parking lot of the visitors center.
Then we headed across the river to the Missouri side to the Audubon building where they had all kinds of information on all kinds of birds and how they take care of injured birds and this little one stole my heart, just a beauty!
Outside they have a path you can walk down to the river and view the birds, my pictures of them didn't turn out all that great but you can see the bit of snow we had on the ground, it was a chilly day.
We headed back to the Illinois side after our little hike and went back to the rivers edge to get some shots of the frozen Mississippi River. Yes that's my hubby out on the ice taking pictures, I was smart and stayed up on land.
They ice crystals on the water were just beautiful with the sun hitting them just right.
Of course you have to stay for the sunset.
Thanks so much for taking the time out to stop by today and say Hi,
Connie

Your card is great, wonderful use of your paper pack! The ice sculptures are amazing, I have always wanted to go to one of these types of things.
Gorgeous photos of your wintry wonderland, Connie. I am so glad your husband didn't fall into those icy waters. I love this card. I love the steampunk paper and the butterflies are sweet. I look forward to seeing the other papers you will use this year. It is always a delight to see what beautiful card fancies you dream up.

Hi Connie, Your card is really amazing. I love the styling of this!! The ice sculptures are beautiful and those sunny ice shots are incredible. Love the sunset!!
Have a great last day of January and great new month ahead. xoxo
You did wonders with this new to you design. I'm like you and don't tend to use my papers so I have a stash. Love how you cut out the butterflies. Nice ice sculpture and photos. TFS.
Oh, those pretty butterflies look wonderful with the designer print. Great way of using up your paper stack. :) Fantastic pictures... those ice sculptures must have looked amazing in real life!
Amazing photos, I love the ice sculptures, they remind me of our ‘days at sea’ on our cruise holidays in the Caribbean, something the kitchen staff entertained us with:-)
Your card is fabulous, love the butterflies stickers too.
First of all, your card is an amazing use of the papers! That's something I'm trying to work on, too. Love how you cut out and sparkled the butterflies. I see you've been on another nice little trip to see interesting and beautiful sights. It's astounding how they do the ice sculptures, and nature does a pretty good job of it, too. Just look at how the light changes. Lovely photos, Connie!
