Threadleaf Cypress
We got iced! Pretty while it lasted, with no power outages, thankfully. Most here in the yard has melted, but the trees on the ridges are still coated in glass-like crystal.

Lovely! Ice always paints a beautiful breathtaking picture.
Thank you, Cindy. It is quite pretty, but I’m glad it came off before the wind and freeze came through.
It’s so pretty! I know it can be dangerous, but it can also be so beautiful. Wonderful captures, Eliza. 🙂
Thank you, Robin. The yard is still treacherous, even with Yaktrax, I gave up trying to take a walk. Maybe the road will be better!
Reblogged this on Blue Dragon Journal and commented:
Ice! So beautiful and dangerous!
Thank you for reblogging, Eliza. It is certainly both!
Brrrr cold – but oh so pretty.
Thank you, Karina. It didn’t get above freezing today, so it is persisting. Brrr is right!
Whenever I see iced coated twigs especially it reminds me of the scene in the Great Race where Peter Falk breaks off pieces of Jack Lemmon’s mustache. These are good looks at what the ice storm gave us. I hope you didn’t lose any branches to it. When I was out this morning I noticed that all the trees on Bare Mountain ( I am sure all of the Holyokes were) by the Notch were coated as you say yours were also.
Ha, yes! If we were 100′ higher in elevation, we’d still be coated. Small miracles!
The beautyberry is indeed a beauty!
Thank you, Phao!
Nothing quite like ice…so stunning. Glad it didn’t cause problems!
Thanks Sandy!
Welcome, Eliza!
We lost power for 20 1/2 hours. 😦
BUT, the views were incredibly gorgeous! Nice photos of the glitter……
Ooh, sorry about that. But you’re right, so pretty! ❤
Top of the Hosta looks like it was dipped in silver. Very pretty. We were surrounded by power outages, not our street, though. Must have been lots of tree damage, yet, again. I really feel badly for all the people who have all electricity, so they can’t heat even water for tea. We have gas cooking so can always have something warm.
Thank you, Alice. After years of dealing with outages, we installed a generator. While it doesn’t power the entire house, it runs the heat and hot water, fridge and freezer, which are the biggest worry for me. Glad you lucked out this time!
Soooo very pretty !!
Thank you!
These are all lovely Eliza!
Thank you, Pete!
Wow! Beautiful Stillness.
Thank you, Karen. It got noisy once the wind kicked up and all the pieces of ice shattered, falling to the ground. Nature is something!
It sure is!! ✨
Nice shots. I especially like the first, reined me of seaweed.
Thank you, David. I can see that, too.
Pretty but hazardous. Don’t fall.
Thanks, Jim. It was still soft when I went out for these shots, but now it is much too hard. Even the dog with her claws was having a tough time walking. Waiting for a thaw!
I enjoy snow, but I am afraid whenever we have ice storms. Traction is non-existent when driving or even walking and the weight of ice always seems to bring down power lines somewhere. I do love the fragile crystal beauty of the plants in your wonderful photos, Eliza.
Thank you, Mike. Ice is definitely the worse because of the lack of traction. I couldn’t even take a walk today even with boot spikes. I turned around and went right back inside! Better to be safe than sorry. I’ll wait until the temp rises.
Wow–especially like the beauty berry
Thank you, Ellen!
Beautiful iced branches, Eliza. 😊 So glad you didn’t lose power.
Thank you, Irene. Me, too!
Very pretty compositions, Eliza!
Thank you, Donna!
Nice Eliza! Love the ice images!
Thank you, Reed!
Beautiful photos – there is something above ice covered trees and branches that is so lovely. You capture it well.
Thank you, Carol. It is rather magical, all that glitter!
It truly is 🙂
What an interesting phenomenon. Something I’ve never seen before.
Makes for some great photos.
Thank you, Vicki. Freezing rain is something we dread. It makes driving a hazard (without grit or salt on the road) and walking is downright treacherous. Not to mention how it can take down trees and power lines. We were lucky to be spared that nightmare this time!
It is beautiful! And something we don’t see here.
On a separate subject, your blog now says that I’m commenting using my WordPress account (!) rather than my usual log-in using my email address and blog URL. WordPress didn’t acknowledge any such account when I tried to crack Cindy’s page to make a comment. We’ll see if it works when I hit “post comment”!
Thank you, Kris. You’re lucky you don’t see freezing rain – it is not fun at all – ha!
You’re doing blog hopscotch! 😉 Hope it works.
Oh! so tactile and beautiful, Eliza.
Thank you, Dawn!
It looks like it could do a lot of damage.
Yes, it can. We lucked out this time, others weren’t so fortunate.
Nature’s masterpieces … us humans can’t compete!😀
Indeed, so true!
Ice makes for spectacular art, Eliza! What incredible captures! Loved them! xo
Thank you, Amy! 🙂
You are welcome!! xo

Very pretty but I don‘t envy you the ice! We have buttoned down the hatches for a hurricane expected tonight…
Thank you, Cathy! I’ve read that gale is quite the storm – stay safe and snug!
Love it, and really love the beauty berries 😊
Thank you, Harold. Winter surprises!
❄☃️🌨
Glad the power stayed on, and those are beautiful shots.
Thank you, Judy. Bet you’re glad you missed this one. 🙂
Great photos of your icy garden. Stay safe.
Brrr, warming thoughts heading your way. Beautiful, but frigid, Curl up with your kitty, your husband a blanket and some soup!
Very beautiful! Especially since you didn’t lose your power. With the power on, it is easier to appreciate the beauty. 😉
Thank you, Laurie. That is true, we’ve become so dependent on the juice flowing! 🙂
We have indeed!
The ice almost looks like it has been painted on. These are lovely photos, Eliza!
Thank you, Belinda!
Wonderful icy images, especially the beautiful beautyberry, and glad you stayed safe and had power!🙂
Such chilly beauty!
Such beautiful icey details! Stay safe my friend ❤
Thank you, Maria. Another similar storm coming in tonight… it’s beginning to get old, haha!
Be safe my friend! It is cold and beautiful here today.
An icing is beautiful-especially if you keep power and do not venture out. I bet the moon shine was magical!
With the reflected moonlight it was almost as bright as day!
Beautiful images, Eliza! Glad there were no outages! 🙂
Thank you, Julie! We do love our electrical conveniences. 😉
This is really nice and interesting.
Thanks so much, Maria.
Loving your macro! ❤
Thank you!
