Icy Rain in Spring

We had Icy Rain and Storm in the Spring of 2009. Here are some photographs.

The rain starts freezing on metals.
Railings..
large tree trunks ...
and pavements.
Car mirrors too were having ice hanging.


Trees and plants without leaves are nice to watch. They start glowing like silverware with the thin ice film aroungthen in the sun.

Tree trunks look as if they are wrapped with plastic sheets.

The leaves form interesting formations of ice around them and it is fun to look for these patterns among plants.


But most beautiful patterns are formed by the buds, flowers and pods of the plants. A real treat to watch.

Car Rally : St. Patrick's Day Parade 2009

As part of St. Patrick's day parade, there was a car rally too. There were some beautiful vintage cars in the rally. (I have no idea about the make or model of these cars.)

And there was group of brand new cars ...
And few Bikes too.
We also saw this interesting looking car in Downtown.
