Differential freezing ice

Here is rain water pails area in our garden.

I found out differential freezing ice in the area yesterday.

It was very cold.

This picture is freezing ice of pailful water.

But this one is another freezing ice in a pail.

In this case, the pail did not have full water like this.

What difference condition was there between them except amount of the water?

Ice Up in the Spring

It's was very cold from mid night yesterday till the early morning.

So water in the bucket froze.

But it did not re-create the ice as upon a like the day.

It seems that Winter come back today!

Our grandsons

We were in the Star Festival on 17 July this year too.
Younger grandson did not work at that time.
They are in Shinto shrine in our city and cleansing away their hands with holy water.

and then playing.

They are eating an ice cream on the Festival road.

We were in the park the day before yesterday.

Now it's breathing time.

They came back with their parents today.
