Yep, more pictures of icicles and sheets of ice.
I originally took the picture because I love the texture and shapes of the icicles as the water sublimates in the cold dry air.
I ended up liking the end result more because of the way it refracts the light of the blue sky while also reflecting it onto the brown tarp.

'Course, seeing as lemons aren't really in season 'round these here parts, it's more like:
when life gives you three hours' worth of shoveling of hard packed snow and layers of ice... make art.
In other news, my lower back is now wicked sore, and I can barely hold a pen in my hand to write from all the shoveling. Oh, and we met some more of the new neighbors helping them get their car unstuck from the snow(ice)bank at the front of their driveway. (Which, incidentally, probably would have been unnecessary if the son had accepted my offer to help dig out the driveway. But, whatever.)
