This spider web came back alive, bright with ice:
Ice grew on everything, spiking dangerously on the blackberry vines in the fog:
We were cozy inside by the fire... I love the warmth of fire when it's icy outside!
No, really... this pellet stove made it so hot inside we had to turn it off after a few hours, it was so hot. I love fog... it's so mysterious, but the ice... we're just not used to that much cold. Lol. It was really cold. Now I have a cough & cold to match the season. Ha. I sound funny this morning, but I slept so great, so I'm on the mend. My honey tells me he was kept awake all night with weird sleeping noises coming from his wife. When I do a cold... (hahahaha) I do it right!

The first picture looks like Charlotte's Web!
ReplyDeleteYea... abandoned and falling apart.
DeleteThat frosty fog looks so beautiful and mysterious.
ReplyDeleteYay for fog!!
DeleteThe spider web is so cool! It looks like it's made out of string not spider butt mucus. And, the blackberry vines look pretty cool too!
ReplyDeleteWha? spider butt mucas?!?! I had to laugh which got me hackin' up a lung... hilarious
DeleteThe ice spikes on the blackberry vines look like some strange kind of flowers. Amazing. My Snapshot is at http://goo.gl/GVIbC

Woah....gorgeous, and bleak.
ReplyDeleteAnd Fedora and I were just talking last night about making a road trip to Portland and Redmond, to visit friends. His argument against? "It's Winter, so, you know...snow, and ice." By rebuttal? "Ah, it's been a dry, warm winter here. Probably Oregon is dry and just fine!"
Whoops!
hahahahaha... you said "Oregon" and "dry" in the same context!! You're crazy.
DeleteIt's not icy anymore. We're back to regular WET. Very, very, very, very WET. Come on up. You can't plan for a dry day around here, anyway. No use waiting!
I love the icy web - lovely capture. Well done you for braving the cold and going out to get these beautiful shots...such different scenes in Sydney though today!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures!! Love that spiderweb! Enjoy the lovely winter~ & feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteGet better quick♫ Great captures of the cold that hopefully won't last long. Happy Week-end♥
ReplyDeleteThe icy weather has been pretty crazy. Great photos! I didn't get a chance to capture the ice in my neighborhood (other than the dog's frozen water dish a couple of weeks ago). :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great series of shots. I really love that blackberry shot- it's fantastic.
ReplyDeleteOoooh! That looks so cold! I'm in La Paz now; not cold but not quite hot, either, with brezee all over. Loving it~
ReplyDeleteWhich part of Oregon? That's where I live!
ReplyDeleteLol. I saw that. Clackamas!! Just outside of town surrounded by goats and horses.
