random awesomeness

last thursday {my really cool neighbor} kim came over and simply said-

come quick and grab your camera.

i'm not one to argue when someone tells me to grab my camera, so did just that and slid on my flip flops {which sit by the front door, just in case warm weather approaches or i need a quick pair of shoes} and headed out the door, across the street to see what kim had in store for me..

when we get to the back yard i am looking for something huge, dead, alive, blooming or something obvious.

he simply points to his {really awesome homemade birdbath} and shows me the most beautiful pattern in the frozen water.

i had no idea that when water froze it made such an amazing design.

so, i give you my attempt at capturing the ice. it was a wee bit cold and to be honest i had my macro lens on.

i was trying to hold really still as to not blur the shot, but it was really cold and i was freezing.

being a thinner girl does have it's disadvantages.. you get cold and stay cold way too easy.

there's a reason bears store up and get fat... it keeps you warmer!

but i will admit, i would rather be cold and thinner than warm and thicker. :)

so thankful for wonderful neighbors who feed my addiction!
