Just have to share this photo!

I took this photo this past Tuesday morning after having received rain all night (and freezing to create a nice, thick coat of ice)! It was 7:04 a.m. and the light is a neighbor's outdoor "night light."

Thought you might enjoy it as much as I did.

If you click on the photo to enlarge it, it will be blurry. I had the camera resting against the glass in the door, so it's not the camera's fault. It happened that it was still raining and I could even detect the shimmer while I gazed outdoors.

It Rained During the Night

Today we have a lot of ice. Some of our oak trees hold their leaves until Spring. One of them, a beautiful tree right by the driveway (that has sagged twice in the past week due to the heaviness of the ice) broke a good-sized limb this morning.

This is the remaining branch... arching in front of the garage. I was hoping it doesn't break, also. My husband sees the need to cut it also, because the two limbs forked above the part that grew from the trunk.

Before the above tragedy occurred, I took some lovely photos due to being inspired
by Kylie at Our Little Acre last night. She has posted some beautiful icy photographs.

This is our ice-covered anemone.

Ice-encrusted berries and branches of a Burning Bush.
It appears "shady," but it's merely overcast. :-)
