The girls are out of school not because it is a snow day but instead an ice day. It was heaping loads of fun sliding down the mountain this morning. I stopped half way down my drive and slowly retreated from the Jeep. It was impossible to walk on the ice so I sat on my rear and pushed my way over to the side where the sun was just beginning to shine upon a patch of ice-laden grass. The blue is courtesy of the sky. The golden background is a shadowed yellow patch of grass. If you look within the photo, there are a couple of tiny icebows...actually I have another photo filled with icebows, but I like this composition better.
