Hi John,

Well spotted! Here is some information about the ice stars you sent me in Dec/22 when I saw this same phenomenon at our local Eco Park:

I didn't see any of the circles or disks, perhaps because they require some current that in our pond is insufficient to allow a circle to form. Here is a link to photos of the stars:

Hi Bob. I knew I had look at this stuff recently, but couldn't remember where or the connection to your photos, which by the way, I can no longer find on your Facebook page. Thanks for the link as this is the best information I've found on it to date. Will have to study it more closely tomorrow and see if it offers up any more clues. This guy seems to know what he's talking about.

The photos are in an album "Clearview Eco Park". Perhaps I picked up a bad URL in my earlier posy. Hopefully the following link should work: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10159682559704915&set=a.10159627865049915
