Ice sculpture from this morning and the brick

[Mira]

I used to smash it.
The ice formed in a pan, and I lifted it out in frustration about how much longer we will have winter.....
But first i had to celebrate it with a photograph. Ice is beautiful.

1. That is a wonderful photo, my dear Mira!

Isn't it amazing just how much beauty there is all around us? And all we have to do is look...

3. When I was a kid, we would wake to frost on the bedroom windows.

Because my Mom, for some reason, insisted on turning off the oil heat at night.


was always mesmerized by the frost patterns, and would get lost in them in those first few waking moments of half-sleep.

8. Like the song.

Snow upon snow. Snow upon snow.
When the earth becomes iron,
And water's a stone.

9. You cant beat nature for beauty or immense variety

I speak as an artist.
