Icicle

This corner of the desert is melting after that unexpectedly weather-ific winter storm.  When we went out to rescue the snow-sodden trash cans, we spotted a fascinating formation:  a line of snow had been blown into a straight line at the window pane of the front window, and when the wind died down, had curved out and towards the ground.  An icicle had sprouted at the base of the curve of the frozen snow line like a petaled flower.

Such a fascinating creation of nature.
