It’s very pretty outside.

But it is also very dangerous.

I walked outside and it was eery.

Branches cracking off.  Falling from high in the trees and then being stopped by other branches.

Slippery pavement.

Iced over bird feeders.

Ice pellets collecting in clumps on wet ground.

Wind chimes covered in ice.

Trees split in various places leaving huge parts of themselves on the ground.

Nature is beautiful even in storms and destruction.

Limbs down everywhere magically missed hitting Chris’s car by mere inches.  We kept power this time and the only damage we can see so far is the corner of the gutters on the front porch.

Nature can be brutal even in lovely places like where we live but I still am able to find beauty in it.  How’s the weather in your area?  Tell me all about it in the comments and Comment for a Cause.
