Day 15: Water

Day 15: Water

Baby it's cold outside, Let it Snow, Joy to the World, Winter Wonderland, pick you favorite but all of those and many others explain the beautiful wintery day we had today.  Out here in the desert wonderland we call home we get so excited on the rare occasions we get snow, kinda like a cop at a doughnut convention, but if we had it every day like our wind we would hate it as well i bet.

What better thing to do than to go outside and start taking pictures of the snow and beautiful winterscapes.  Well how about staying inside where it is warm like a sane person.  I admit I was too cold to get out and shoot much today, but when I got home and Zoee was outside playing in the snow I figured I had procrastinated long enough and it was time to find something to shoot.

Today's challenge was water. It is so amazing that something as simple 2 Hydrogen and 1 Oxygen atoms bound with a Polar Covalent bond (Thank You Wikipedia I could not remember the bond I didn't have a very good chem teacher in High School and avoided Chemistry like the Plague at A&M it is a washout course) is the most essential molecule for life and makes our planet so special.   And today we were blessed with a blanket of water in its solid phase in the form of snow.  Some of this snow went through multiple phase changes and melted and re solidified while dripping off the roof and created the icicles that were the subject of my camera today.

So here are the icicle lights that we have on the house today.
