The kids had another snow day today because of an ice storm we got overnight. I don't think the kids will have an Easter break anymore. :)
We were supposed to get 3-4 inches of snow, then ice, then rain, then more snow. I didn't see any of the snow, but we've got plenty of ice and rain. I think the other snow is yet to come.
I was determined today to find some beauty in the midst of all this yucky weather, so I ventured out this morning with my camera. I was pleased with what I found.
This one is also featured on my Project 365 blog as my photo of the day.

My popsicle of a car.
Thankfully we don't need to go anywhere today. Since school was cancelled, Keira's basketball game is also.
I don't have a macro lens for my camera, so I did the best I could to get some close up shots with my 18-105mm lens.
We are hoping we don't lose power because of all this ice. It is about 32 degrees right now and everything is drippy and melting, so I don't think we will.
After I was done photographing all the ice, I joined the kids in a snow ball fight ... girls against boys. Girls won! We had a blast! And what a good workout! We were all soaking wet by the time we came in the house.
This afternoon will be filled with movie watching and game playing. And maybe even a little Wii.
Happy Tuesday, All!

Awesome photos!
These shots are gorgeous!
Your photos are much better than any I tried to get! of course I didn't leave my porch so that could be my problem. I just don't get very excited about taking pictures of these kinds of things.
Great shots! I would not have known you did not use a macro lens. I do not have one either for my DSLR, but my little Nikon has a great macro mode. Have fun and stay warm!
Sounds like such a fun time and the photos are just amazing. Thanks for sharing these wintery photos with those of us who don't get to see such things in real life!
I hate the ice but I do think it makes everything look pretty! Some great pics there!
Beautiful shots! We have no ice, part of me is sad because of the gorgeous shots you can get,but mostly I am thrilled. LOL
