Here are some photos of the ice storm we had here last week. We were lucky that it wasn't any heavier. These photos were taken 2 days after the ice- it stayed longer than usual– So beautiful!!
Our view to the south, covered in white….
Some Sedum heads coated with frosen drips.
Our Linden Tree against the sky.
A little Japanese Pine in my front garden with it's glassy coat.
I caught the diamond-like sparkles on these branches.
The curly willow really looks great iced over.
Some curly willow branches with the blue sky.
Drooping Birch branches…
My work area by the front door- a wire table- from this angle it looked totally topped in ice..
The storm gave me a couple ideas for a new batch of rocky pieces…. I now have ice-like beads and white stones to play with for snowy, icy rocks…. I'll see what happens!
I am a former textile artist and new pattern designer with a degree in horticulture, wishing to share my love of nature, flowers and gardens with everyone through my photos, sunprinted fabrics, and now pattern designs. Chronic Lyme Disease has caused major changes to the direction my life. I have to limit the amount of time spent digging in my gardens, and quilting has become more difficult. I discovered pattern design as a way to get art back into my life. I now use my gardens and photos to inspire designs that can be used on fabrics and print on demand items.
Isn't Mother Nature just the greatest for new ideas! I really like your ice pictures. I may be able to get some tomorrow. It has been raining now for several hours and the temp is about freezing.
wonderful photos!
