Ice cold

The outside of the house dons a curtain of icicles

glistening in the sunshine.

Water's rival to the prism,
a frozen dazzling veil.

Stunning! One of things I actually like about winter is the icicles...

When I was little I would snap long icicles off my house and lick them. Natures popsicles.

i love icicles! i like to try and keep track of how long they stay on my car.

Oh my goodness! It never gets so cold that we get icicles in Wellington. I would stand for a while, captivated by the light and the drip drip drip.

I recommend Twilight. While it may not be the best written book out there, it is still compelling. At times, it is so bad that it's good!
