Ice cycles

The other morning Duane said ‘grab your camera you have got to see this”.  Out in the horse pasture by the shop there was a drip from the roof of the shop falling on the ground below. 

005

I always thought that ice cycles went down. 

006

and each blade of grass had about an inch of ice on it.

007

008

but I don’t think the birds appreciated the ice that day.
