Watch out for the Ice-Sloths

Here are a few pictures of the ice at the nursery from last week.  They seem to divide themselves into two categories.  There are the documentation type of “here’s ice all over our plants” pictures, like these:

And there are the photos that look like they’re from Zorgoth the Ice Planet. 

They don’t really look like anything familiar at all, but it’s nearly impossible to resist taking close-up pictures of the otherworldly ice formations. 

Not only plants froze; our soccer field took a hit, too.

We went a little bit crazy with the picture taking, so there’s a whole file full of ice pictures.  I’ll save those until August, though, when they’ll look even stranger.  As a final note, we cheated when we took our ice pictures.  We left all of our faucets on to keep them from freezing solid, so the water they sprayed out nearly instantly froze when it hit the plants or the ground.  It was cold here, and there was ice from frozen rain, but not nearly as much as these photos would indicate.  They're just nifty pictures.
