Trees reflected in the waters during that recent trip to Ireland. That’s one good thing about being a bit snowbound. Gives you lots of time to sit and sort through photos.

Of course that could be me trying to find the bright side as we brace for the next set of winter storms.

To be honest, I was trying to photograph a rooftop icicle. I was playing around with the camera zoom when a distant shadow caught my attention. It was a hawk landing on top of a telephone pole with a pigeon in its grip.

There were people walking around below, and big vehicles scooping up the snow, but no one ever looked up. And so over the next two hours the hawk dined, unbothered, until nothing was left of its dinner.

At least that’s what these icicles reminded me of, people taking one step at a time.
