We arrived home to discover that the storm which drove north from Texas for Christmas Day
had been an ice storm in the Ottawa area. We only had heavy rain at my parents'.
Yesterday was sunny and mild, so the dogs and I spent the better part of the morning wandering the fields and taking photographs.
The cattails are especially fascinating, as you can still see the softness, although it is encased in ice.
I still refused to permit Annie to bring the deer's leg home with her.

Texas does provide many excitement to its denizens - summer of blazing heat and holiday snow. It's certainly not boring in Tx.
Happy new year.
Cool shots of the ice on the cattails. Looks like you had a lovely walk. Happy New Years.

Nice photos - amazing "structures" after the storm.
Lycky if was a nild ice storm. The last time I experienced one, all the power lines came down in Montreal. No heating, no cooking...
luckily we had a tiny kerosene amping cooker so we could warm some mik for the baby. The power was out for a week!
Lovely shots.

Ice storms have a bad habit of looking very pretty while acting in such a ugly manner! Nice shots!
What a beautiful petrified forest!

i didn't know there's snow in Texas! i remember snowflakes at noon when i visited Fort Worth 2 years ago...people got really excited!:p
love your icy photos.
The ice storm makes for a lot of opportunities for the photographer but I understand it can be a problem for drivers and utility companies.
You made good use of the opportunities.
Wow fantastic shots of the cattails. Have a great day.
