POTD - Icicles

For whatever reason, icicles aren't very prevalent in our area. We probably don't get enough snow. Or maybe I've not sought them out.

I remember, growing up in Massachusetts, the abundance of those sparkly, pointy ice formations, growing from the eaves of the house. I remember opening up my bedroom window and breaking off the biggest, fattest icicle I could reach and then storing it in the freezer, until a bigger one came along.

I've never seen an icicle on our current house.

And these icicles are not from our house - they are from my violin teacher's house and the first thing I noticed today when I pulled into her driveway.

Icicles forming in several areas around her house.

I wonder if we'll ever get them at our house.

  2. WOW! This is such a great shot! Love the processing on #2! If I were a lover of winter, I'd frame that one . . . lol.
