Icicles-2008-1.JPGHi.  I took these photos this morning.  There first one was around 6:30 am and the others I took as the sun was coming up and glistening on the icicles.  The pictures don;t do them justice.  They are so big, sparkly , and pretty.

Ye gods - that looks very pretty - but COLD, Judi!
The weather here in w.Europe is all wrong - much warmer than usual, for the time of year. It's sad, as the animal and plant life is all getting out of synch - frogs spawning already, and birds loudly proclaiming their territories, which means they are thinking of nesting. It could very easily change again - last winter, our heaviest snows came in late March.
Lovely photos though - thanks for sharing!

Those are gorgeous, Judi, but not outside my window - thank goodness!  My daughter lives in Madison and is sick of the snow and frigid weather.  Thanks much for sharing such a beautiful winter scene.

Beautiful, Judi -- and no, I don't have those outside my window. I live in California, silly girl.

I admit to thinking, though, "Dang... Those cows must get COLD!"

:lol:

Oh yes, the cold, when it's really, really cold can be hard on the cows, like when it gets into the single digits.  They actually do better in cooler weather than warm.  All of our calves are wearing jackets.  They look so cute.  The good thing is they are all indoors so their body heat can keep each other warm.

This is for you Shelli bear_original  This is one of our girls giving you a kiss.

If we get six more inches of snow it will break a 163 year record.  Last year we had the least amount of snow in 43 years.  Like Maria said...we are having some strange weather also.

Judi thay are amazing icicles, I don't think I have ever seen any as big as that. But I must say I am glad they are outside your window and not mine.

Beautiful scene. I've never seen icicles like that before. Here in the desert the sun is out and the temp is about 73 today...we did have rain last Thursday, though.

Ooooh...I remember having big wonderful glistening icicles like those one winter in Central Oregon where my Grandparents lived.  They were so fun UNTIL the sun came out and they started melting and one broke off and the way it broke also broke my grandmother plate glass window in her living room.  OOOPS!!!  However, they are lovely...we use to get the grownups to break them off so we could play with them in the snow (and eat them...gross to think about it now).

I have sunshine today, Judi...and a baby calf born a few days in the pasture next to the house (our neighbors has mutt cows though... :crackup: )

I can't imagine having that much snow and the icicles are spectacular.  Yesterday we had 40 degrees celcius (over 100 degrees fahrenheit) here in Brisbane   and spent most of the day in the airconditioning or in the pool.  All i can say it was HOT!

Thanks Judy for photo.  I was amazed by the amount of snow in the back ground.

Yeah it snowed all day yesterday here, today just overcast but not snowing. We have had to shovel four foot of snow off our driveway three times and our drive way is about fifty feet long, Ouch by back). I finally broke down and bought hubs and industrial size snowblower. :dance:  bear_tongue

Judi,
     What glorious pictures.  Reminds me of the icicles on our old house, when I was a child.  Don't see too many of them anymore - houses seem to be much better insulated.  You should print them off and frame them - what a gorgeous grouping.  The last one is my favourite.

                              hugs,

                              Brenda

I only hope that you and your family can keep warm.

Nancy-your garden looks so summery and yummy.

Carolyn-swimming in the sea!  How lovely....there aren't any sharks are there?

Kathy-just think of the calories you have burned by shoveling 50 feet of driveway three times bear_thumb

Wilma-great view from your workshop.  Are you near Port Canaveral?

Shantell- I used to eat icicles too when I was a kid.   bear_wacko  And just five minutes ago my daughter Rachel came in from outside sucking on a big icicle. bear_shocked  bear_whistle  bear_wacko

I"m in Holland, Dordrecht, which is kinda near Rotterdam. This was a view from my window, overlooking a gas station for ships. It's actually my appartment as I don't have a workshop. It's very small but very nice to live in...
