Icy Pillars Form and Fall


ice 
like diamonds dripping from a ladies hand
drips and forms from natures graceful limb
awesome pillars form and fall
reflections call my eyes 
which are enthralled
nature's grace once again
wins my heart with it's artful show

Triple reflections, icy udder stalactites and quite simply: wonders of nature.

I have no idea how you could tear yourself away as these wonders were growing before your eyes, I could not have . . .

Lovely Tammie, I'd hoped to have uploaded ice sculptures by now but it looks like it's not meant to be this year. Seems odd after our prolonged freeze down last year.

Wins my heart with it's artful show. You say it so good. The winter with the ice and crystails are so beautiful.
And your stone in the ice are so colourful!

Hi Tammy. I thought (from looking at a thumbnail in my blog reading list) that the first photo was of a hurricane lamp sitting on a glass-top table.

Odd how the mind interpolates and seeks to own all that crosses its path.

When I say beautiful hurricane lamp, that's my mind speaking, but when I say beautiful ice, that's my senses doing the talking.

sandy said...

I have never seen ice like this.
It reminds me of stalactites.

They are like little jeweled lamps, capturing the glowing light. I gasp when I see your pictures, my Friend. I see faces in the blue ice in that last photo.
