Last week's ice storm



The day after last week's ice storm, I snapped this picture coming out of work. Everything was still covered with ice, and the sun's rays were reflected everywhere. In fact I could not capture the picture I wanted to because I couldn't get the camera to focus with all the light. The ice was incredible. Even the blades of grass were coated. What was unusual is that the ice stayed on everything for several days. I had a silver birch tree in the backyard completely bent over so that the tip was touching the ground. It was like that for two days. Thank goodness they are such resilient trees. It has been a weird winter. We have finally begun to have seasonable weather.
