Nice work, Moonleaf, I especially like
Here is what I am,
the leaf-shadow stillness of moonlit trees,
the mouth of great silence that swallows everything whole.
Sent a shiver down my spine. :tiphat:

Not seen this before? You have to live somewhere chalky. Sometimes the ground is wet and stays just above freezing but the air is below freezing. The water from the ground is sucked up by the chalk and freezes on the top of it, then a bit more, and more, and very rarely you get an upward growing icicle like this. Cool huh?

Hi Fox,

If it will ever be spring and we get rid of the snow , we hope, that they come back. Probably they will occupy our cellar foyer again.

Fox - Whoooooooops! That is what comes of being in that "happy place" with too much beer! I cannot believe that a person like you could ever have an "evil" twin! :wink:
