ice
One day last week we woke up to a world encased with ice. Rain froze right where it dripped off branches. Water in suspension. The bamboo forest bowed down, their tips grazing the ground, and delicately laying across our electric line, with an unspoken threat. We had been warned by neighbors that the bamboo forest had taken out the neighborhood electricity for 10 day during an ice storm one year. So a call to the electric company happened, and then I was out with my camera slip sliding away. It was like a world sprinkled with crystals, glittering and cold.

such beautiful pictures! I love how simple they are and yet they tell such a complex story. how about a photo 101 post for us newbies? :)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. These are breath-taking! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. Ice is so beautiful on trees. I'm afraid I'm the icicle over here -- it's freezing here! :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Growing up in Tulsa we had ice storms often. I don't miss the threat of no power, but I did love all the sparkle! That last photo is awesome - it kind of reminds me of the the dream catchers I've been seeing around the internet lately.
ReplyDeleteThe ice is heading our way too-- something so devastatingly beautiful about it {& we a crossing our fingers that the tree in which our electric wiring is entwined will hold}. Gorgeous photos, as always-- I particularly love the owl-on-ice!
ReplyDeleteI love these pictures, especially the last one... but ice storms I can do without! They do so much damage. It's cold here now and going to be a high of 16 tomorrow... so I'm ready for ice :)
