Winter is pretty mild here, at least compared to what those who live north of us endure. We rarely have snow and only the occasional icing of the landscape which causes school delays and closures that those aforementioned friends to the north would scoff at. The children and myself were not sad in the least for the early call cancelling school today.

I wish I could have captured the ice in the tree tops, sparkling in the sun like they had been dusted with glitter.  It was beautiful.  Instead I will share these few that I did capture with you.  The first three photos are from last winters ice, the ones following are from last night.
