icicles

One thing i've been enjoying about this winter season are the icicles. TM Amy and i were talking about the fact that there seem to be not only an abundance of icicles this year, but that they were staying around longer. It is nice to see groupings along building fronts that look like the way kids draw icicles in pictures. I also really like when you find surprise icicles, like the ones under my neighbor's steps or over my bathroom window. So far, my favorite has been the icicle that formed around just one half of this wrought iron heart on the fire escape. I'm enjoying the beauty of the crystal clear ice, but i will admit that i wish this one would stop dripping on my head!
