Iced Delight

While I was at Laura's, we were lucky enough to have a mild ice storm.  (I know that sounds sick, but we don't get ice very often in the Pacific NW and I was thrilled).  So, I bundled up on a grey overcast day and went out to see what Nature had embellished for me.  I really liked the contrast of the red berries and grey tones of the sky.

Beautiful! We had some freeze but I was too cold to go looking for it. Call me a wuss. ;)

Those are beautiful shots, Pat!!! (I must be sick also, because deep down I'm secretly wishing/waiting for an ice storm too- as long as it is brief...just so I can photograph it)!
