Love these photos and particularly the ice on the conifer - that's absolutely stunning! It hasn't been that cold here for anything like icicles and our one day of snow melted rather quickly. I'm in spring mode now anyway so don't wish any more really icy weather. :-)Millymollymandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990749863025598526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721055461531407267.post-10349203605224716452013-02-17T23:40:04.950-05:002013-02-17T23:40:04.950-05:00So wise and true!
