Ice Storm

We experienced quite an ice storm last Wednesday! Over my lunch break I went out-and-about taking a few photos.

Right outside my office building


Walking bridge


Sculpture (must get her name!)


Encrusted leaf


Lampost


I also walked to the park to see how the "Rain Dancer's" were doing

Great photos, and I love the girl in the hat.

Just to make you feel bad, we've had temps in the 80s the last few days. Not nearly as good for getting spectacular photos, though.

I'm hoping that we will just slide into summer, but snow is forecasted in a few days. Good grief!

of the Rain Dancer's children. And yes, I think it's interesting that someone placed a glove on one of the children. I also think it interesting that someone put hats and scarves on the photo below - taken a couple seasons ago, but not only that . . . I took the previous shot at almost the same angle.

hanging twins that get painted. Day-glo orange seems to be the favorite color.

Image found on photobucket.
The rider is John Hunt Morgan.
Un painted horse

I like the looks of things after an ice storm. Unfortunately, the damage to the trees and power grids tends to remind us that we don't get them for free.
