The Ice Storm

Just a quick post today to share these lovely photos from the intense ice storm we had a few weeks back.  There were plenty of broken branches and uprooted trees to be sure, but I was so impressed with these delicate impressions left in the ice (captured by my adorable husband.)  :) 

Linus loved watching the snow fall...

Now we're starting to see buds on the trees like we always do this time of the year in the Northwest.  Winter in this area is never very exciting - we Northwesterners tend to jump for joy when it actually does snow.  And when it does, it makes for a much more dramatic show when the seasons change, as Nature grooms herself and readies for another Spring.
