Mid February

Brown, white, icicles and snow

This winter has been a season for icicles. I'm sure they are thicker and longer than they have been in a few years. They are more like what I remember from my childhood.

Largest square: icicle on our local farm seed store. Moving clockwise: a snowy field under a blue sky; a horde of crows (this is just a tiny square of what was actually there); more icicles; crows in amongst corn stubble; and wild turkeys scratching for seeds.

I am Linking to Mosaic Monday HERE

    I don't think I've every seen anything other than nearly crystal clear icicles. Did they pick up some paint while forming or maybe sediment from the roof?

    This is fun! I haven't seen real snow in a few years and icicles are a distant memory and you've proven it is true that turkeys are dumb 'cause they don't know enough to come in from the cold! :)

    Wonderful winter photos. Icicles are beautiful but very dangerous to fall to the ground.

    A lovely mosaic, the icicles are pretty. And the snowy field is beautiful. I am still hoping the weather will warm up and our icicles melt. Enjoy your week ahead!

    My goodness, you do have a winter wonderland there! I love it. We had some wonderful icicles a couple of years ago in England, but Vancouver is never (well, extremely rarely) cold enough. Are those wild turkeys? So fantastic. Sometimes I wish I lived in the east. :)

    Mid-February looks like a dream to me. It was so mild here yesterday, 11°C I think...

    that was the year of the big snow!!

    Look at those icicles. Same here, they remind me of my childhood. We liked snapping them down and playing with them. Not sure what we were playing! Have a good week!

    Amazing icicles. I've never lived in really cold country so have rarely seen them in person

    We had a cold snap here last week - it lasted for three days - and in that time we saw icicles like we hadn't seen for years. The fountain in front of the legislature turned into a big icicle!

    Wonderful mosaic and oh I know those icicles, very well. I think that you are right too, longer than normal and certainly lasting longer~

    Those icicles are very photogenic. They do remind me, too, of my childhood. I think that we don't get icicles so often anymore because of the eavestrough on the houses.

    The icicles I find in the parks are so pretty... but the ones hanging from my roof are a tad scary at times!
