Necklace for a Faery Queen

When the sun came out for a millisecond this morning, I saw this glowing webbed beauty.  An unlikely necklace of glowing raindrop jewels which will no doubt grace the lovely frock of the faery queen who frequently visits my garden.

Such loveliness on this dreary, drab, rainy day!

Snow Necklace

Yesterday we drove to a retreat center located in the mountains above Silver Creek Falls, for a rehearsal. As we drove higher the snow began to fall. It was 35 degrees outside, but that didn't stop the snow from accumulating about two inches. The trees were beautiful and I loved watching the graceful fall of the snowflakes.

Later as the snow began to melt I caught this lingering Snow Necklace encircling a budding branch.
