snow squall
On the way to my father's there was a snow squall. The trees melted away and the lanes of the highway disappeared.

pizza
I am so sorry, but it must be said. Here we have a leaning tower of pizza . . . boxes.

ice
This puddle has the smoothest ice, the best ice. if you run and slide, you can go almost clear across--no friction.

smoothest ice ever

The ice has creatures. . .

And treasures . . .

a bonus

In her Q&A about Ancillary Justice over at io9, [livejournal.com profile] ann_leckie shared some of the music that's in the book, including the shape-note hymn "Clamanda," which has these haunting words:

Have you ventured to the field
Well armed with helm and sword and shield
And shall the world with dread alarms
Compel you now to ground your arms?

Such lovely pictures.

Was it difficult driving in the snow squall?

I love the ice in the woods. So pretty.

What wonderful music!

It was difficult, though not the absolute worst I've driven in. Fortunately there just wasn't that much snow on the road.

I loved the music ♥

I like the cold and the warm / empty and potentially full of cheese and sauce juxtaposition of the first two photos.

I am thinking about bingo cards for The Child in His Sword

[livejournal.com profile] darkpaisley loved Ancillary Justice.

What did she love best about it--I want to hear! I loved that book so much.

I can't wait to see your bingo card for The Child in His Sword

I love little shops like that pizza shop, especially when it's cold outside. They're like little lanterns of warmth. That shop has been around, in my hometown, since I was a child.

I love that last one; you almost can't tell what you're seeing.

The ice and the glass are so similar--it makes it somehow uncanny.

Snow...

I find this so rich...'The trees melted away and the lanes of the highway disappeared.'

Thanks--it was breathtaking (and a little scary, the highway part) to see.

The ice has creatures... *shivers*

"Clamanda" is wonderful - thank you! I think that's going to be running through my head for weeks to come!

Me too. It slid right into my heart.
