Cool Photos…Ice Cold, in fact

We had our first ice storm of the season last night. Or today. I’m not sure; we were out of town, but returned this afternoon to find a thin layer of ice over all the vegetation. (Fortunately, there was none on the roadways between Midland and the Hill Country, although it appeared to be moving into the latter region.)

There’s really only one thing to do outside when the weather is frigid and everything is coated with ice: take pictures! So that’s what I did, primarily of the last blooms of the year. It’s too bad they can’t be preserved in this state until next spring…but that’s what photos are for.
