Freezing Rain in the Trees

Now, I realize that freezing rain is downright dangerous for driving… but it is SO GORGEOUS when it paints every needle and twig with icy crystals! Pictured here is a Pin Cherry (Prunus pennsylvatica), and an Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus), two of my dearest Pennsylvania friends.

Dripping with Diamonds

This is my first encounter with freezing rain! It’s really beautiful, although dangerous on the roads.

The trees are all bejeweled with ice, and the world smells beautifully damp with rain!
