Grandpa designing and making a Christmas present for...hmmm, can't say.





Our Christmas tree


More photos of ice storm aftermath:


lilac tree right behind the house







Okay...enlarge this photo. These 2 deer we spotted today while driving home are like none Kevin nor I have ever seen before. They are slightly smaller, but also slightly stockier build than "normal" white tail deer common to this area. They were rather wooly and had a face almost resembling a kangaroo's face. Disappointed I couldn't shoot a better photo, but we were in the car and the deer bolted when we stopped. Can anyone identify these deer?




Ice-encased viney plant




Lilac buds...very colorful with red and yellow



This evergreen is next to the parking lot where I work



This was from the snowfall we had just prior to the ice storm



Again...just before the ice storm




I was fascinated with this evergreen...the frost beneath the ice encasement



A crab apple



very fine nylon netting around plants



The clouded sun shining through the crystal treetops





I pulled into a parking lot to take these 2 photos






Icicles hanging from the wires in our backyard. Notice the poor lilac bent to the ground



lilac just behind the house

GREAT photos--especially the second one of red berries. I love it! Mom had said the crab apples in her front yard were gorgeous. I wonder if this is the same thing she saw.
