Frizztext’s A-Z Challenge this week on Flickr Comments at http://flickrcomments.wordpress.com/2014/03/04/tagged-i-2/ is The Letter I.

I’ve only one thing to say to that. Ice! And lots of it!

I’m not talking about the kind that you put in the bottom of a glass or the sparkly kind that you wear around your neck. I mean the kind that has been hanging from the gutters, making roads treacherous and turning sidewalks into skating rinks for the past few months.

While I’ll be the first to admit that it can look very picturesque, for most of the time it’s just a colossal pain in the you-know-what, sometimes literally if you happen to slip and fall on it.

  Thanks, Tootlepedal! I can’t wait to see some signs of life outside but until then I will enjoy the beautiful pictures of your garden and surrounding area.

I see what you mean about being still cold, wintery and icy. Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I’m headed to Taiwan tonight for 3 months. Should be warmer there and then too warm in May.

Your pictures show the beauty. Your words express the other side of ice. “There is no pleasure without pain.” said the monkey as he made love to the porcupine. 🙂
