Little bit of ice , little bit of snow on the back roads can make for some disastrous driving around these parts, but it makes for some fascinating backyard viewing over the next few months. Right now just a few lonesome, brown tattered leaves and an old forgotten caterpillar nest or two, hanging in the balance, are about all that resist against this morning's slate gray sky. So this ice covered green and red serve a comfortable visual purpose. That ol' Mother Nature has her way, whether we like it or not. So sit back and just enjoy!Saturday, December 11, 2010

This is a spectacular photograph, but I can't seem to articulate why--it's all just so . . .so. . .pleasing. I'm sure your other viewers/visitors will be better able to analyze why it is so perfect.
ReplyDeleteA visual delight. And I'll grant that snow and ice often offer that. But...driving on it, shoveling it, scraping it, freezing in it - no thanks. Been there done that. I think I'll stay in Florida (where, unfortunately, it's been colder than a well digger's you know what of late - which is illegal!) ...
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Beautiful composition with a little help of Ms. Nature! :)
ReplyDeleteGod bless you!

I'm so glad to know there's another northern blogger out there who looks forward to the beauty of winter...and not just the doldrums.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture of the ice effects. Love the flower in the barrel.
ReplyDeleteGood morning! I hope that you slept good through the freezing cold night! When I woke up there was barely any snow, as there is now! I look out my back window and I can still see grass! Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
ReplyDeleteWe received a huge pile of snow overnight! I'll be out soon with my snowblower to rid the driveway and sidewalk of 10 inches of snow!
ReplyDeleteSome great close ups lately. I really like the growing bottle. So much life in those little roots!
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling this view will go through several changes as the season progresses.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful combination of flowers and snow. We're envious here of everyone who has snow right now.
ReplyDeleteA bit of summer and of winter in a single shot. How nice!
ReplyDeleteTerrific photo with a glazing of ice on everything. Good work.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fine composition, Birdman.
ReplyDeleteDoes look pretty!
