I’ve since learned that this much ice hanging from the gutters of a house is not the best thing in the world architecturally …
… but these icicles sure were beautiful in the morning light.

the ice will have melted.
The panes of glass will be mostly clear.
The icy forest will be gone.
And likely I’ll be a bit warmer, but what a way to start the day. 😉
the sun keeps peeking out too

snow

I have to admit I was much more enchanted by the first few winter storms. Now as we batten down the hatches for roughly 10 inches of snow tonight, I’m really, really, really looking forward to spring. I may feel differently in the morning when the sun’s rays strike all the white surfaces. We’ll see … 😉
more ice on the windows

Clearly, I don’t live in the most insulated house in the world.
But if I did, I don’t know how I would experience this beauty to be found on windows first thing in the morning.
Of course, as I write these words, I am reminded of folks who say that I tend to find the bright side of any situation.
But I wasn’t trying to come to terms with the cold this morning as I wandered from window to window. I reflected on the fact that different windows had different displays of ice from individual crystals to long glittering strands to sheets of ice thinly covering whole window panes.
The most surprising find of the morning was the rainbow. I stood next to an especially patterned window just as the light shifted or I shifted or whatever … all I know is I saw a rainbow and it was lovely. 😉
indoor snow

Just a few images from around the house this morning.
As soon as I pull together all of the various layers — and there will be many — out into the snow I will go.
a christmas walk on the beach

After eating all of that bread mentioned in the previous post, let alone all of the other holiday goodies, a walk was necessary. We chose a favorite spot, Revere Beach. No snow upon the ground, but it was cold as evidenced by the water frozen in shells upon the shore. A bright sun illuminated everything even if it did not warm.

Simply beautiful in my humble opinion. Enjoy this just over 1 minute video from artist Angie Pickman. A tribute to the winter solstice. 😉
