Icicles over old bricks painted blue
Icicles from the past - last February, actually - spikes of ice that froze as water dripped off the roof. I'm guessing this house doesn't have enough of another I-word: insulation.
Icicles over newer bricks
OOPS! It looks like even this newer house could use a bit more insulation.

The first photo looks like it could be Russia. We do ABC Wednesday. Interesting to have two alphabet memes!
Love your pictures . We are having some pretty icy weather here in Calgary
I enjoy seeing icicles hanging from rooftops. None here yet although it has been freezing and raining too. Maybe getting snow on Sunday here. . .
Those are serious icicles~ they would cause serious harm if they hit you as the fell off the roof :-)
Just thinking about what is to come. Hope it's not like last year...too much snow and lots of ice. Warm hugs, Esther
I love looking at icicles - mostly because they are a rare sight for me.

Amazing, it doesn't look real.
I've never seen icicles first hand. These really look amazing and quite beautiful too.
I can't say that I'm looking forward to those icicles coming here, but your pictures are beautiful!

This is a TERRIFIC post. It is a perfect reminder for people to check the insulation in the attic! We are very conscious of insulation because it gets so bloody hot here in the summer. I certainly don't want to see our hard-earned dollars go out the window (or the attic) in heating or cooling bills!!
I really like the icicles and colored bricks! Winter beauty!
The Ice sure made for some pretty photos. We even had Icicles in Texas last year. I hope we don't have that harsh of a winter this year.
Stunning. Thank you.
Previews of what's to come maybe?
Love the first pic - really! That's a lot of ice!
Insulation or not, the icicles are beautiful. We only see ice in the freezers of refrigerators, hehe.
That first photo with the blue house is great. It looks something like out of fairytale.
No icicles here, EG! But sure pretty to look at in your images, especially over the gingerbread edge and against the blue bricks.
They make me feel cold, just looking at them! Been a while since we have had icicles that big....
Oh beautiful. Reminds me that I used to love an English band called 'the Icicle Works'.
Wow EG, your post is wonderful!
I'm enchanted here by these icicles, the colour, shapes, it's about ART!
Amazing captures!

I hope this was not shot now. The iceicles looks good. I know it is hard to shot them. But that blue wall was good as background. :)
Great icicle-pics! 'Icicles' is an excellent I-word! Used it twice before myself. But, as you already know, I have used a different word this time.
Thank you for stopping by and writing a comment on my I-post.
Since several readers have expressed some interest, I am going to try to list some cups on one of my online-shops. I'll let you know what colours are available.
Best wishes,
Anna

Those are some crazy icicles you photographed! I'm a bit scared of them since I always have this crazy thought that if I was standing under one and it fell, I would be badly injured.
I like these,
very beautiful...
We have not had ice yet but love your pics
These are huge! We don't get many icicles here in South Carolina.
More insulation would be good, but your photos shows how decorative ice can be ;-)
I LOVE IT! SO COOL. I just love icicles
Makes me shiver just looking at it. I usually have those huge kind hanging off my roof before the end of the winter making it dangerous to walk outside....
Oh you!! I don't want to see this just yet. I'll close my eyes and you will go away. LOL MB
lovely--but I'm glad you don't have icicles yet :)
Oh wee, you've gt it there.. the cold weather has come to you I can see..!! :O :)
Well done for the Alphabe party. Jenny does get some fun folks posting to that group.
Great photos capturing all the glistening sparkle of winter's blue light.
Thanks for your kind comments on my post earlier. Any day I get to walk the beach, even the grey blustry ones are a good day.
I'm not ready to think about icicles, although I do think you captured some great pictures of them.
Icicles are so beautiful!
When I was a child we'd try to break off the icicles and then eat them like lolly pops.
It's snowing here in Victoria - no one is happy about that!
Love that top photo...I can almost feel the cold emanating from that picture!
What a neat post! I miss icicles which, of course, never occur here in the desert!
But I thoroughly enjoyed visiting yours!
Thank you for linking.
A+
