Spring has Begun

Snow berm icicles

Every year the sun warms up just enough to start the melting process. The berms lining the road melt from the bottom up, it seams, leaving a large gravel-covered overhang from the top and large icicles dangling below. It's gorgeous, and I can never capture its beauty with my camera: the photos end up looking like dirty snow.

This week the sun has been out in full force (even though the high temperatures have been in the high 20s with lows around 0 still), and my drive home had the icicles backlit by the sunset.

This is the first time I feel the photos have done justice to the delicate beauty of rotting snow.
