Ice can be dangerous — and gorgeous
We're all struggling with the ice, but if we take time for a closer look we can find something interesting. Here are some ice pictures — if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!
The "mini forest" was made by dipping some small branches from the discarded Christmas tree in a bucket of water and letting it freeze.
The "Ice Palette" is entirely the work of nature as seen on our roof top. The description is out of my imagination — it's like seeing pictures in cloud formations: there's a winged creature riding on a unicycle in pursuit of a fish.
The "Sea Horse" is hoarfrost on the spent plume of a Sumac bush.
The close-up of a large icicle reveals dainty shapes reminding me of the many shapes of sea plants which grow and wave leisurely back and forth on the bottom of the ocean.
