ice pigeon...

it went flying across the lake landscape - which had a fine dusting of ice after fog had covered over it...

...taking to the mountains she went - flying away from me

...happy day

teardrop of ice...

...on the evergreen tree 

a special little teardrop of ice in the backyard... leftover from the snow we had the other day... a tiny thing hanging amidst the evergreen branches all alone,  perfectly balanced - with mini bubbles of air inside... how cool is that? just for me to see... relish in its perfect oval of beauty... realizing it is magnified here - in reality perhaps a 1/10 of an inch in size - a remarkable dot of ice...

and a whole other world captured in this tiny drop of ice, too - reflections of color caught by the sun... be astounded at its ability to remain on the tree after all this time... and through much wind.  i snapped - saying thank you to the little drop for staying around for me... grateful to have experienced another wonder of nature.

happy day.....
