Fury or Glory

Mother Nature is blasting a great majority of the country tonight

with everything from freezing rain to piles of snow.

I cautiously proceeded outside this evening to snap a few

pictures of our current version of winter ~ ice everywhere.

 

It is a virtual winter wonderland.  Unless of course you have to

venture outside.  Surprisingly, the roads were quite good today.  It was the 

sidewalks and parking lots that were treacherous.

I took a little embarrassing spill myself this morning, as did

many others.

The question is ~ is this winter's fury or glory?

One can't deny, the ice is dangerous, and more than just a nuisance.

But on the other hand ~ the bright side ~ or as I'm trying to

give it a positive spin ~ it is nature with all it's bling on.

My little garden shed in the background tucked away admidst

the ice-covered branches.

They're calling for pouring rain tonight turning to snow and 

an additional 1/4 inch of bling.

If we lose our electricity tonight, my positive attitude is most

likely to go with it :)
