An Icy Sunset!

Great shots with beautiful backdrop. And front drop, now that I think about it!
Hey, it's so nice & coupled with the sunset in the background is fabulous!
This is amazing Cheryl! You captured two of the most amazing things. Fantastic!
They are so pretty! What a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment to have captured those drops. The sunset backdrop is just perfect too. Great job!
wonderful shot. check out this friend's blog about water drops and how they bounce when slowed down-it's amazing. http://gremhogs.blogspot.com/2010/01/tensionfor-jocelyn.html

Cheryl, u r really a great photographer.. a droplet of water can be captured so clearly... :)
Absolutely beautiful shots, you do have such a gift for photography Cheryl.......:-) Hugs
Neat Cheryl.... I love seeing that icicle do its 'drip'.... Bet that was hard to capture... It's kinda like me trying to take a picture of a Chickadee... ha
Hugs,
Betsy
Having fun with your camera! That's something I like to do too.
Oh how funny, Cheryl! We did the same thing last year in Illinois and I posted about it. The neighbors must have thought we were crazy hanging out the window and trying to get a good shot of a falling drop. LOL
Nice light and sky through the icicle.
I love these pictures, Cheryl.
Hold your breath please. Your heat has melted the icicle.
wow, great shot!
You did a great job of capturing the falling water drop, and I like the sunset behind the icicle.
I am sooo sleepy, think I need a nap. Happy week-end.

OMG... the icy stalagtite is so beautiful, but i definitely wouln't want to walk under it. It might hit the head and give me a concussion on my head!
Strange!the ice is daring to touch the Sun!!!
Cool shot with the the touch of transparent ice drop in frame...
Good job :)
wow what lovely captures. one of your bests.
Cleffairy: Haha...you would not want to walk under any ice like this, serious injury may occur.

nituscorner: So nice of you to stop by and leave such a nice comment-thanks!
It's interesting to watch the sky changing as the icicle is changing too.
Great captures Cheryl! The sunset makes a beautiful backdrop and the melting icicle is really cool.
Hi Cheryl...tku for dropping by my blog and leaving such a lovely comment.
The photographs are absolutely stunning.....you have an eye for photography that is for sure.....
Amazing! You should enter some photographic competition with these pictures. Great chance for winning a prize.
Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures. I love them very much. Where do you live? A year ago, I was in Michigan and I have seen a lot of these icycles there. I convinced my husband to move here in Florida because I can't bear the cold anymore, and the funny thing is, it gets colder here this year, too. It even snows on some part. :)
Beautiful, peaceful sunset, Cheryl! But the Icicle really stole the drama with its cute little documentation that culminated in that clear shot of the droplet! Good capture! Love it!
That is a very nice and lovely photo
Hi Cheryl, Wow! You caught a dropping icicle droplet!
Maybe I should try taking pics like this, instead of, ha ha ha....
Outstanding shot! Never seen one like this.
Talking about icicles, one about 2 feet long, dropped down two feet away from me as I was waiting for my wife outside a store couple of weeks back.
I guess the MAN up there rejected my resume, ha ha, if that icicle had not missed me? Its game over, ha ha.
Hows the weather your side of the woods?
Here its chilly, around -10'c.
Was -21'c few nights ago.
Can't complain as it is beautiful see snow turn to icebergs....already my Lincoln's one tail pipe is bent...
You stay warm and have a great week, and watch forfalling icicles, Lee.
What a beautiful photo with the icicle and lovely sunset in the background. What a fantastic photo!
simply beautifully captured shots...lovely!
you did a great job catching that drop of water. How'sthe weather? Is it getting any warmer?
