This is only a few of zillions of icicles that were hanging from our eaves, and I like this angle because it's a bit different than what I've usually seen! :)

These icicles were right next to the front stairs of our porch, and even though I've taken lots of icicle pictures, these are so perfect that I just had to share them! :)

2 more pictures in notes above ! :) Yesterday when I braved the cold to look around and take pictures, I discovered some really cool icicles adorning our shop's eaves. They are an interesting shape, being very broad and thick. Though I took pictures yesterday, I came back today so I could make this my Picture of the Day! :) Today I have two other pictures, one shows blackberry thorns with frost crystals, and the other shows icicles dripping down blackberry leaves! :D ENJOY! (Sorry for the short posts and lack of comments, I'm buried in a project!) Joseph Addison (1 May 1672 – 17 June 1719) was an English essayist, poet, playwright, and politician. He was the eldest son of The Reverend Lancelot Addison. His name is usually remembered alongside that of his long-standing friend, Richard Steele, with whom he founded The Spectator magazine Wikipedia: Joseph Addison Explored on December 12, 2013.

This was a really cool find! I saw all the icicles on the eaves above the blackberry bushes, so I looked to see if any icicles had formed on the bushes too...and they had! So much fun!!

2 more pictures in notes above ! :) Today's surprise was waiting for me when I looked out our bedroom back door, which opens up onto our tiny upstairs deck. The eves were bristling with icicles and they were brilliant with the sun shining on them! I was so excited I ran in to tell Steve so he could see too. Both of us had a lot of fun taking pictures! James Grover Thurber (December 8, 1894 – November 2, 1961) was an American author, journalist, cartoonist, and celebrated wit.

This image shows some of the cool details of an icicle up close and personal!

It's been very cold here and though it wasn't 18 degrees like the night before last, walking around in 30 degree weather was definitely on the nippy side! I know better than to go out without bundling up, so I looked like a stuffed tick as I left the house--but I was warm! :D The sun was shining so brightly, twinkling off everything in sight, and though I had an idea of what I wanted, I saw this frost on 1/4" garden netting and my picture of the day was here! I have a slightly different one below which shows another focus point and softer bokeh, but I think this one is stronger. Also, please visit my next picture to see another image I captured today! Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948), commonly known as Mahatma Gandhi, was the preeminent leader of Indian nationalism in British-ruled India. Employing non-violent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for non-violence, civil rights and freedom across the world. Wikipedia: Mahatma Gandhi

It's not cold enough for icicles today but still very chilly and rainy. Perhaps the weather is reflecting the view of the ugliness of our soon-to-be-evicted-six-year-old-spoiled-president-who-should-have-never-been. Cannot even BELIEVE the outrages and horrors of the past couple of days. It's just shocking that there are actually millions upon millions who think that fool should be in charge. I loathe politics with a passion...it's no wonder why. Originally posted on 11/20/2011 Who can resist the beauty of an icicle?!

Down at our little granite valley, there are various outcroppings of rock. One icy morning while wandering around looking for fun stuff to photograph, I found icicles under one of the outcroppings! I thought it would be really fun to post this picture today because of its similarity to the resin droplet I also put up tonight! :) This image was taken in February , 2012.

I awoke to a stunning, sunny day, with frost glimmering everywhere! I found so many beautiful things to photograph, but when I found this icicle, melting in the morning sunshine, I knew I had my shot. Leonardo di Vinci (April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519) was an Italian Renaissance polymath: painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer. His genius, perhaps more than that of any other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal. Wikipedia: Leonardo da Vinci

This is another picture I got today on this beautiful, frosty morning! :) It's the stem of a teasel plant! James Russell Lowell (February 22, 1819 – August 12, 1891) was an American Romantic poet, critic, editor, and diplomat. He is associated with the Fireside Poets, a group of New England writers who were among the first American poets who rivaled the popularity of British poets. These poets usually used conventional forms and meters in their poetry, making them suitable for families entertaining at their fireside. Wikipedia: James Russell Lowell
