We went for a walk in the Moors earlier, even though it was mid-afternoon there was still a covering of frost and some of the ditches and tributaries of the River Flit were totally frozen fast. The big pond on Flitton Moor was almost entirely frozen over bar a little ice hole in the far corner, from which some ducks flew away from, as we’d inadvertently disturbed them. Otherwise the ice looked quite thick as someone had seemingly lobbed a log onto it and it hadn’t broken the surface. Not sure if it was quite ready for ice skating however!
Torpid under ice,
Lurking carp’s cold eye observes,
Meek warmth reflected.

Amazing pic!
You know if I actually had to write a Haiku it'd probably take me an hour. I could probably write 4 short stories in the space it'd take me to write a decent Haiku, but yours are enviably lovely : )
