Mother Nature's Destructive Beauty

Thank you Jax for setting this blog up for me. Now if only I can figure it out!!!

I headed outside this morning to take some more pictures from the ice storm that we had yesterday. The trees look so pretty covered in ice, yet it is so hard on them. The wieght of the ice is often to much for the branches and they break, or worse the whole tree comes down. Here are a few pictures of the half of one of our large trees which came crashing to the ground yesterday morning.





This one of the pine cones covered in ice was actually from yesterday, but it was kinda pretty, so I thought I would share it anyways.

way to go Heidi!!! I knew we could count on you to continue with this!
Can't believe it takes an ice storm to take down your trees and it takes a hurricane to take down ours in Florida.

Oh the poor tree! Hope you don't lose too many of them. Love the couple of shots too, but they look TOO cold for me!!
