Winter photos after the ice storm

After last night's ice storm, it was very beautiful with ice on shiny branches. It looked like a winter wonderland. But, thankfully, the temperature warmed up and the ice began to melt. Many trees fell under the weight of the heavy ice-laden branches. And many people lost power.

But, an ice storm is still a great time to take photos. While at work, I ran outside on a break and snapped these photos.

Can you say, "tired of snow"? Even I, am tired of shoveling, chopping and piling the fluffy white stuff.

But then I see a image like this and it all seems worth it. WInter is just beautiful.
