“The Icicles of March”

Hi Friends:

It’s something you have to see to believe.

It’s a natural phenomenon which I’ve only seen here.

The icicles coming down from the garage, turn back up, and end up sideways, or turned up.

These photos were taken on the 16th day of March, last year … only 5 days from Spring.
“The Ides of March” was a day in the Roman calendar that corresponds to March 15. It was marked by several religious observances and was notable for the Romans as a deadline for settling debts.
The expression ‘Beware the Ides of March’ is first found in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, in 1601. The line is the soothsayer’s message to Julius Caesar. “The Ides of March” didn’t signify anything special in itself; this was just the usual way of saying “March 15th.”

Interestingly, these photos were taken one day after, on March 16.
