Silvery

 
Worked most of the day. Tired. We are supposed to get freezing rain, sleet, other nasties tomorrow. Meanwhile, it's too icy to have much fun outside. I don't even have any pictures from today. Tried to find the energy to do something artsy. Rose almost inspired me. Well, she did inspire me, but I ran out of energy.

So I bring you some silvery icy pictures from other days in the past month or so that never made it on the blog.

Leaves frozen under a skim of ice on the cemetery creek.



Just two different areas of a frozen puddle on the shoulder of the road. Always something beautiful to be found!





Finally, a picture I took while hiking at Pine Valley, but there were so many beautiful shots that day, I never showed you this one.



I think an early bedtime is going to work for me!

Purple and Silver

 


Well, now I have to confess, as you can see, that I have not mowed the lawn since coming home from hiking. No one cares, out here in the country, except me. But I can justify it by finding beauty in the weeds. This is some kind of witch grass. I'm not going to get more specific than that, 'cause I "don't do" grass. (I'll stick to sedges for complicated IDs.) It's fluffy and purple. But look what happens to it in the early sunlight with dew on it...


Now it is magical- a treasure of silver.


Maybe it is precious, sparkling gems, with crystal spikes.
