Hi Tim,
The ice on the lake was melting and it was no longer one continuous sheet of us. Instead, channels of melt water had formed vertically through the sheet, separating the sheet into long pieces of ice about the size of a candle. As these pieces of ice moved against each other they made a "tinkling" sound. The wind moved the ice towards the shore, pushing the sheet of "candles" of ice up onto the shore. In the pictures, you can see some of the "candles" of ice that have fallen over. Ask me more questions in class. It might be easier to tell you about it in person! I'm glad you liked the story!
