Voronwë's SIL autocorrect gives a whole new meaning to the Túrin shroud, LOL...Lalaith wrote:That is so beautiful!

Awesome photos, AJ!
There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.

Brrrrr! But beautiful.

Re: Nature Pics
But disastrous. That happens here, too. Brings down trees, cuts power lines, turns freeways into ice rinks. . . .
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

Re: Nature Pics
From inside a nice warm house, yes. Unless you've got big trees looming. We've got an arborist coming in a couple of weeks and I'm seriously hoping we don't get an ice storm in the meantime.

Re: Nature Pics
I grew up with pretty regular ice storms, and know what you mean. Though I was a kid-teenager, so my parents usually had to deal with their effects! I just got to stay home from school.

Re: Nature Pics
I saw it days ago and went off to look up a quotation and got interrupted and never came back.
It is a gorgeous picture.

Don't know how I missed this, but it is a stunning photograph, Voronwë....
