We’ve had a mild winter so far this year, and I’m not complaining, But I will admit that snow — and even ice — can be beautiful as long as I don’t have to drive in it. I took this picture in our yard a couple of years ago, and thing the icy branches look good against the blue sky.

The lacy branches look great against the blue sky. Snow and ice can make beautiful scenes but I hate what it does to your nose and toes.

I love the icy limbs against the clear, sunny skies! A great combination — sunny hope for the winter. Wonderful capture, George! Wishing you and Betsy a great weekend!

Snow is beautiful if it only stays around for a few days like ours did a few weeks back. And we didn’t get the icey stuff that Seattle and south of there got. MB

Great shot George. We’ve had a pretty mild winter also, there’s nothing worse than driving in thick snow – I hope I’ve not spoken too soon.

Hi George, Ice covered branches are always pretty to see as long as the ice doesn’t fall and hurt someone or something.
Enjoy your weekend.m

It’s been mild here to George. In fact I think you’ve had more snow than me.
We had ice one day but the sky was so grey and no sun I couldn’t get the lovely kind of shot you show here!
Hope you and Betsy are having a wonderful weekend.

Nice capture George. Our weather has been like a roller coaster ride up north.

I love the ice on trees…I love ice on trees against a blue sky!
Lovely

Gorgeous shot! Yes, winter can be a beautiful thing to look at — but I really hate getting out in the cold. So far, our winter has been almost snow-free, and that’s just the way I like it!

OH wow – this is gorgeous!
