"everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it"

~ Confucius

I was checking out an apartment complex by my house this morning (for work, its a long story and really not that interesting so we will move on), as I pulled into the parking lot it struck me that there was an awfully large amount of ice on the roadway and the trees (grass, parking signs, walls - you name it, it was covered in ice). Now it has been cold but this was like something out of a movie. Of course, in my line of work my first thought should have been the liability exposure or the fact there could be a water main break but instead all I saw was the beauty and was so tempted to go back home to get my camera but instead I waited and went back tonight - I may try to go back in the morning as it would be interesting to see how it would look different in the sunlight.

I love this next picture, each blade of glass was individually coated in ice so it looked like a blanket of crystals.

~ Scott said this was caused by the sprinkler system going off combined with our blowing wind and frigid temperatures over the last few days.
