I needed to slow down and spend some time with an icicle. It teaches me to stop thinking. To respond rather than react. It rebuilds my confidence. I am ready to go again.
Dear Chris, LOL!! I did have a cup tea as I watched the icicles. It has licorice root in it. I do enjoy a pot of Jasmine with licorice tea every afternoon. I was so disappointed when I missed Cooper's Hawk this morning. Plus I had all these ideas on how the birds could "pose up" for my Valentine photo shoot and they did not cooperate! I needed the icicles to help me relax and go with the flow, or in this case the slow drip. ~Q~
Hi French Nest, The icicles are lovely. A joy of winter. They do look like crystal prisms. Yesterday the icicles shimmered blue! Thank you for enjoying the photos. I was rather frustrated today. From now on I will try not to expect the birds to pose for me. Although it would be a great shot if only the Doves were to sit just a wee bit closer together, and if the two Sparrows would snuggle up and if the Wrens would just look at each other! I would love male and female Cardinals to sit or stand together. I have to give it up, or I will be back watching icicles again. Birds will do as birds do. Dreaming of a bird photo shoot. ~Q~

These pictures are trully amazing. You must be a very patient person. I hope you had a flask with you :-)as well as your camera.
Stunning photography Q! We also have many icicles here in Canada hanging off of the houses and trees...don't they look like crystal prisms?
