Southern Snow/Ice

These are just a few random pics from our snow/ice event.   We had at least 2 to 3 inches of snow, but then the sleet and freezing rain came through coating everything with an icy finish. 

My empty tricycle planter was frozen in place. 

The back yard was a sheet of ice.  My poor dog Rascal did not like it one bit - poor thing slid around just trying to find the "right" spot to do his business. 

 
My garden girl had a basket full of puppies covered in ice.

And this is my little guy's take on snowboarding - he did it with his Yo-Baby plastic skateboard!  He and his buddy had fun playing ice hockey in the front yard. 

Happy Thursday - I hope you have a great one!

Frozen.....Macro Monday

I'm sorry to overdose you on icy/snow shots, but that is the big story here right now.   This particular shot was taken during our last snow event the day after Christmas.   This little branch and drop was frozen after the snow had started melting, but had refrozen during the night.  

We are forecast to get 1 inch of snow overnight (I'm hoping for more!) but the big story is the ice that is expected tomorrow afternoon.  Grrrrr......  Ice is never good, no matter where you live.   

The "crud" has also reared its ugly head again and I have been sick and have fallen behind on keeping up with everyone.  I hope to be catching up with all of you tomorrow, provided we have power.

Have a wonderful week!

Frozen Reflection....

After the snow started melting last week, I found this little berry that was partially encased in ice with a frozen drop attached to it. It turned out to be a sweet little macro shot!

Be sure to visit Lisa at http://lisaschaos.com for more great macros. Blogger apparently made some changes and I cannot get my link to work. Is there anyone else having problems? I also cannot make my picture x-large like before either. Oh well....I'll figure it out later when I have more time.

Happy Monday!

Same Barn - Different View

I shared this barn some time back, but wanted to show you how it looked in the snow and from the other side.  This barn is located adjacent to one of our local city parks.   I wanted to get some shots of the snow, but by that time it was mostly melted.   However, as I was leaving the snow started back up and we got another 1/4 inch.   By that time it was getting dark and windy - time to sit by the fire!

For more great barns be sure to visit Tricia.

Happy Tuesday!
