Icy Buds



Mountain Laurel buds encased in Crystal


The ice storm transformed the appearance of my surroundings. What previously was mundane and unattractive had become amazingly beautiful.

They look like crystal Christmas tree decorations. Really beautiful. Cold but beautiful.

This crazy weather is hard on everything and if it stays warm, like this, we are in for a lot of dead plants and trees and bushes and insects come real summer.

I agree, ice gives everything a different look. Kind of a reminder what life must have been like in the caves. Cold.

This is absolutely beautiful! I love what ice storms do to nature, I'm just sorry what havoc they do to inconvenience us.
