It’s as if seasons are merging…the ice covering the green. Reminds me of that kid’s game when you show a picture and ask…what do you see? Can you find the hidden bird?

Oh, I like that! The rhododendrons stay green all winter – one of those weird/cool things. I went out for a 2-hour walk and ended up using what was in my front yard. Isn’t that just the way of things?
And just like that, Wednesday takes on a Friday vibe!
This one speaks to how nature’s skill set works its magic. If Mo Nature was an artist, the works she produces would be pricier than Van Gogh in a seller’s market! Forget the Louvre, that’d be slumming it.
Truly magical piece of nature here. Brought to us by the gal with an uber impressive skill set of her own.
I love that this was all in my front yard. (And to think I took a 2-hour walk in search…) And Mo Nature has some serious gifts and I thank her for sharing them with my lens.
I thank you, kind sir. You are, as always, so very generous.
I shall say you’re welcome but really, thank you for this space!
They are. I’m actually pretty certain these were caused by melting icicles from my roof. I just don’t get how they could be sideways like that one pic.
Thank you and good morning and happy Wednesday to you!
It is, isn’t it? How the hell did those icicles form sideways? Glad you enjoyed. And to think I took a two-hour walk only to use images from my front yard…
This is true. It’s been rather mild which is why there are so many icicles. I had to break a bunch that were over my door as they made me nervous. The others are too high. It is surely their drip, drip that formed the sideways icicles but still so very cool. And thank you!
