What happens to ice when the water suddenly drops?
It’s left stranded…
or it breaks..
Serious Snowstorm Number One

The first serious snowstorm of the season starts in the afternoon with bitterly cold, driving winds
and the cedars bend and the birch trees shiver
in almost whiteout conditions.
In the morning, the ‘double-shovel’ snowshoveller appears
and bit-by-bit, foot-by-foot pushes the snow down the driveway
and then, the driveway looks like this.
The big, yellow snowplough cometh…
and the big, yellow snowplough goeth.
Cedar Waxwings arrive; to see if the ‘double-shovel’ snowshoveller
and the big, yellow snowplough have done their jobs!

The snapping turtle carries his ‘house’ on his back…
and heads for his lake ‘home’.
The midland painted turtle carries his ‘house’ on his back…
and heads for his watery ‘home’.
Green ants work together to build their house of leaves
before they live in it and call it home.
Wasps work together to build their house in the highbush cranberry branches
before they live in it and call it home.
And guess who lives at the bottom of my garden?
Whose house is this?

Unique.
One of a kind.
Different from others in a way that makes it special or worthy of note.
Icicles.
Each icicle, unique.
One of a kind at a point in time.
What do you see in this icicle?
Icicles, at one point in time
Definitely unique: each time I moved the tree reflection changed on this ‘spider crack and seeping water’ on lagoon ice.

Illuminate. A tropical beach.
Spectacular. Inspirational.
Morning and night.
Wake to the sun. Sleep to the moon.
Both illuminate.
