SkyWatch Friday: Icy Blues


I think ice covered branches are very beautiful against a blue sky.

You can't see much of the sky in the shot below except reflected on the ice topped tree branch. I thought it was interesting how it turned the branch blue.

    I think your shots are beautiful, - lovely to see the sunshine on the branches, - the ice and the drops of water. And the blue sky!

    The iced blossoms are beautiful, but the sky reflected in the ice on the branch is a wonderful find for you. Good work, Carver, very good work.

    What's that sticky stuff on the large branch? Ice?
    At least you have some pleasant sunshine.

    Hopefully the ice doesn't damage and break off those beautiful branches. Nice shots!

    Very nice - we had ice like that even down here in Florida...
    Not that I wanted it. :)

    Ice on the trees is lovely, ice on the ground can be treacherous. That look like a dogwood, in a few months it will be beautiful and well worth the wait.
