Ice Storm



The storm began Monday afternoon with a cold rain in South Central Illinois. It soon turned to a mixture of sleet and freezing rain by Monday night. Schools were canceled Tuesday morning, even though a lull in the storm brought only cloudy skies. But by noon on Tuesday, it was like "KracaSnoa", with the heavens erupting waves after waves of freezing rain upon us here, and 20 inches of snow with sustained winds of 67 miles per hour on my family members in northern Illinois.


     But......the after-effects of the storm were nothing short of magical. I have enjoyed every one of my many "photo walks" these past few days, but the layers upon layers of clothing needed to stay warm now keep my house in a constant state of disarray!
     Now comes the fun part -working with the images of nature that one only sees once in blue moon!
