I know, I know, enough with the snowmaggedon posts, already. Still. This winter has made for some really beautiful pictures — here in Jersey, anyway — like these ice swans captured by my 15 yo, in our backyard, the other day. She's majoring in photo journalism and, well, the girl has a great eye, no?
Oh, and the icicles? They are EPIC this year. I'm so glad I took this shot outside our den/guestroom/laundryroom/playroom…before they ALL melted.
Or, before my oldest (a.k.a. Holly the Icicle Slayer) got her hands on them and, truth be told, having caught a glimpse of her darkside, you'd never know that, IRL, she's really an Italian literature and arts major, right?
I was a little frightened for the wreath's safety.
So, I thought it was probably a good idea to, you know, step back and put down my brand new camera, frigalicious as it is (yes, it's a word!) not to mention, put away the rest of the Christmas decorations…I know…shuddup!
But, not before grabbing this shot, as she claimed her trophy and, well, thank goodness her little brother wasn't home to, you know, turn it into a weapon and pretend it was an ice saber, or something.
Before it melted, of course — Happy Sunday!!!

Oh, and feel free to clean off a chair, sit down and visit my photo journal or my Flickr photostream.

Beware the Icicle Slayer”
You know, don’t you, that if you stab someone to death w/ an icicle, they’ll never find the murder weapon? Just sayin.

Wow! I love it. I just posted about the 80+ degree weather at my house.
I remember when I lived in New England being worried about those babies falling off a building and stabbing me as I walked in or out. They are beautiful though.

Seriously, be careful. Growing up in Michigan, we had an incident one year where a minister was breaking icicles off of the church and one came down and stabbed him and killed him. They are dangerous things.
