The sprinklers are indeed the most photogenic. As the water hits the trees it freezes, giving some of its heat off to the trees and protecting them from the bitter cold that could damage the buds. It doesn't happen every year, and most of the time I am driving to work and can't stop the car pool for the time needed. This year the cold snap was on a friday and saturday. Up at the crack of dawn on saturday I was able to get quite a few good shots. Here are a few of them for your enjoyment and comments. http://www.naches.wednet.edu/NachesValley/nvhs/staff/langhans/ice/iced-orcha rd-1.jpg http://www.naches.wednet.edu/NachesValley/nvhs/staff/langhans/ice/iced-orcha rd-1.jpg http://www.naches.wednet.edu/NachesValley/nvhs/staff/langhans/ice/iced-orcha rd-1.jpg Aram - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
