ICY FEATHER BOAS
On Saturday I drove out to feed my feline "charges" in the country.  The sun was just burning through the freezing fog that lit the winter weary landscape with sparkling fairy trees encased with crystals that glinted in the early morning sun.  As I climbed the steps to the farmhouse deck, with a sinuous mass of hungry multi-hued cats weaving around my legs, I noticed that the deck railings were wrapped in crystal feather boas.  Inch long crystals in the shape of perfectly symmetrical feathers grew towards the sun - exquisite in their fragile ephemeral beauty.  After feeding the cats I drove back into town and returned with my camera in hopes of capturing a few images before they vanished in the warming sun.
