The Weened in Black and White: Ice Storm


Ice storms are very beautiful but treacherous. I was very relieved we didn't lose power when we had an ice storm yesterday. I was able to stay inside and enjoy the beauty with occasional walks out for photography.

    you must have had a strong ice storm. that ice looks to have covered the whole leaf. i'm so glad you didn't lose power though. it would have been too cold. hope all is well. have a great day.

    I see that winter is upon us; getting tricky over here in the UK as well this weekend.

    The whole leaf looks as if it is trapped in icy time! A very beautiful photo!

    It looks so beautiful, but I'm very glad we don't get ice storms here - at least, not yet!
