Icicles

Woke up this morning to this humungous icicle looking in the bathroom window.
Dropping many feet from the roof of our 1.5 story addition on the east side - a definite lethal weapon for any up and coming yeti that might be wandering through.

In the inside - nicely framed by the Philodendron on the inside it doesn't look so intimidating. Hate to have something like this land on my head.


We have had a roller coaster winter - first of all it started very early and with a bang - we didn't even get the winter enclosure onto the front porch which stops the winter cold with an air space on the cabin door. Then a constant batch of storms - at least one a week - delivered varying inches of snow - add in some lake effect snow - - by mid January we had well over 2 feet . . Then our January thaw arrived and everything melted - one might have thought spring was coming as even the grass looked green .. The wind shifted and now we are back in the original storm or two a week mode and again have re- accumulated over 2 more feet - with out the thaw we'd have been tunneling - bad enough as it is...
This gorgeous icicle is the largest of many palisading our abode. For more snowy/icy wintery photos please go to my flicker album I put a few in there today:

I am enjoying the fact that this new blog allows me to insert more than one photo..
Life is good
