Storm Images

Overloaded evergreens, as seen through my porch window on Tuesday. (Click to enlarge any image.)

Snow plows on East Seventh Street got the road clean as a whistle, but spewed slush across the sidewalk.

Scott Drugs employee clean up the slush. In 22 years on this block, I never saw plows throw so much snow and ice on the sidewalk.

This scrap of ice resembles one of our summer Swallowtails.

Our Forsythia bush has about a dozen Praying Mantis egg cases stuck on its branches.

I marked each one with a scrap of yarn. The mantises will hatch in late April or early May.

Every branch of the mammoth Oak tree in front of our building has hundreds of icicles.

Wishing everyone a safe day. Stay warm, dry and upright on the ice!
