Our life living off the land in our log cabin, breathing fresh mountain air, and getting back to basics.

Fascination With Icicles

When there's snow, there's icicles, and they decorated everything following yesterdays snow.

Icicles formed one after the other and lined the roof across the entire length of the cabin, something I've not seen before.
The blustery winds were so strong it caused the tips to freeze in motion.

They were everywhere. 
 
I enjoy the challenge of capturing photos of them in action as they sparkle in the sun...
...and discovering interesting twists and turns in their shapes. 

I especially like the closeups...
 
 
 
 

 What I don't like is what the snow temps in the teens did to my lone daffodil...

Spring, are you going to stick around now?

Thanks for reading my blog, see you tomorrow,
Lise

Dang, I thought you lived in the "south".

But your ice is still pretty!!

From you, yes Patti. We are on the north side of the Cowee mountains, I suppose that puts us in the north, LOL!

We haven't had a snow and melt cycle for a long time, so we haven't seen many icicles. We have finally been getting snow in the high country. That helps me worry less about low lake levels this coming summer. - Margy

Thank you Linda and Vicki. I enjoyed taking them.

Margy, I hope you can keep some of that moisture around, I know its been a dry season for you.
