Frozen

ice coated birch

This past week, a coating of ice dressed up every tree around here. It coated the streets and sidewalks, too, but I still found it beautiful.

Oak leaves bejeweled.
Icicles on every oak branch.
A fairy-tale crabapple tree.
The birch tree in an ice garland.
White pine needles like spun glass.

While we wait for the spring equinox this month, winter gives us a little reminder that it, too, offers delicate, temporary beauty.

Happy March.
