Ice Maple

So, on Sunday–the first day with sunshine after last Friday’s storm–we took a walk, and as we left the house, saw this. This is our teeny-tiny baby red maple tree, and it sits under the eaves of the house and, as you can see, was just covered in icicles. The timing for our walk was perfect, though, because the sun was at just the right angle to make them really shine.

In fact, see? When we got back from our walk, the sun had moved around the corner of the house, leaving the icicles gleaming rather than sparkling, but still just as pretty.

Sometimes, it really pays to bring your camera on a walk around the block.

    I feel a little bit sorry for the tree, wearing all that ice! But it sure is pretty. :)

    Gorgeous – I hope the ice melted quickly and gave the tree a chance to stretch its branches.

    It looks like magical snow fairies decorated the tree!

    Very pretty. Hopefully it recovered from the wieght of the ice and didn’t break your tree.
