The setting sun yesterday turned the world into a landscape of glittering trees -better than any display of Christmas lights. The skies cleared about 3p.m. after 48 hours of snow/ice rain off and on. It was breathtaking (pictures just can't capture the glitter) and yet I worried -definitely a bad trait of mine -I worry that the sun came too late to melt the ice weighing heavily on the evergreens, I worry a wind will come up and we'll have more broken branches -I worry....
As the sun went down, the glittering diamonds in the trees turned to sparkling yellow gold coated branches.....
...as I took this last picture from my side door......a loud crack.....downed branches....not from our trees but from our closest neighbours......I worry -that is why I'm posting this in the middle of the night -not sleeping again.......too much on my mind.

It's so beautiful to see the winter landscape, we too have very frosty weather at the moment which is a bit unusual in my part of the UK, we generally have quite mild winters with very occasional snow.Hope your trees don't break too much with the cold snap.
hope you have had no breaking brances land on your home between you posting and my reading this!
a hard frost here today but nothing to match what you have.
there are some ponies over on my blog ;)
