Becky and I share a love of beautiful scenery, especially sunsets.\u00a0 I can always count on her to be looking at the horizon in the evening to spot the last few rays of soft color.\u00a0 However, both she and I agree that the most beautiful scene we’ve EVER encountered happened earlier this year during an unexpected ice storm in our town.\u00a0 Every tree limb on every street sparkled like it was hung with diamonds.\u00a0 It was jaw-droppingly gorgeous.\u00a0 On my way through town, I even looped back around so I could drive again down a few particularly stunning streets.\u00a0 For some reason, cameras couldn’t capture the light properly, so these photos don’t represent the half of it.\u00a0 But here they are anyway so you can get an idea!<\/p>\n
