Grab your camera... and put on a short lens.

He kept mentioning the first icicle above looked like Batman.

ReplyDeleteUm, the second picture? Totally looks like ice gnomes scrabbling up your roof!
ReplyDeleteAs if the world tilted for a moment - Way Cool - "kick-ass" is Right!! Thank You. -g-
ReplyDeleteVery, very cool! You must have had some serious wind!!
ReplyDeleteWOW, Nancy, I can honestly say I have NEVER seen icicles like this. Must be the wind you get across those fields... amazing.
ReplyDeletethat's one smart shane you have there, #1 is totally bat man!!
ReplyDeleteand #3, ever heard of gravity!!
Talk about ice drama. Never saw that happen before...must have been very windy!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really interesting ice formation Nancy. The wind must have been blowing really hard! lol And I also thought of Batman or a bird wing in the first photo.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting is that! And don't you love when your honey sees a photo op and calls you to bring your camera?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great husband you have yourself there!!! These are amazing, and it is perfect captures.
ReplyDeleteCool 'sicles :) My first thought was 'demonic moose antler', but batman works too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat pics!
Wow! Was it windy? Crazy!
ReplyDeleteThose are really neat!!
ReplyDeletea swallowtail butterfly, an elephant with tusks, and a crane!

ReplyDeleteWhat lovely pics! And I see Batman in the first one too.
Wow, Nancy! I love these...I think it's all very Gotham City and Batman-ish.
ReplyDeleteWoah, that's crazy! Almost looks like a weapon. Yeesh.
ReplyDeletePS - I don't have any farmer friends who grow corn. I'll ask David since he teaches at a rural school and has a lot of students who come from farm families. Thanks for the tip!
He was right those are some amazing formations! You must have had some wind? I thought "wing" when I saw the first one as well.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's neat. Does that mean you had some wind during that cold weather? Glad Shane spots things for you. My DH is oblivious to such things.

Those ARE gravity-defying ice sculptures! I'm assuming the wind shaped them, but it's so interesting that some are clear ice, which would seem to indicate a melting temperature, too. Truly defying gravity.
ReplyDeleteFascinating! I think the first one kind of reminded me of a butterfly.
ReplyDeleteNeat! And its moisture, YAYAYAy!!! We have gotten a lot of snow and still have snow on the ground here. which is great; slow melts mean good crops!
ReplyDeleteWhat awesome icicles!
ReplyDeleteWow!! Wind blowing a little bit there?
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing.
Fabulous creations of nature.
ReplyDeleteHow did that happen! Wow!!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing. There's an elephant in the second one!
ReplyDeleteso called you to get your camera...I love that your hubby finds photo ops for you...my Hubby does the same thing..
ReplyDeleteWow, that is so cool. I like the last photo and the first one looks like a pair of wings almost.
ReplyDeleteOh, spectacular! I think the first one looks like a butterfly's wing. All of them are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that?!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Beth P
Mother Nature never disappoints! Great shots!
ReplyDeleteHow did that happen? Very cool!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! Those are waaayyy COOL!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh what fun this is....both the pics and the commentary. I had some odd shaped mini snow drifts on my fence. have we tilted off our axis??!!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!

Magical pictures of the ice!! Laura
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome!
ReplyDeleteYour too funny.. Such a cool photo my friend.
ReplyDeleteThese are very unique! Wow!
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing! I saw some icicles the other day hanging in a most unexpected shape and wondered how they ended up that way. Too bad I was running and didn't have my camera with me - we could compare shapes. :)
ReplyDeleteCool texture.
ReplyDeleteyour ice sculptures (actually Mother Nature's ice sculptures) are super duper!
ReplyDeleteCool icicles. It DOES look like Batman!
ReplyDeleteThat first image is amazing!!! It looks like a butterfly wing.
