As this week's storm cleared (just rain here), we had some bright blue sky and white clouds in our sky. First two were Wednesday morning, third shot was Wednesday afternoon.

Header Challenge - Ice
When I thought of "Ice" as the theme this week, I expected Old Man Winter to provide me some scenes for my camera. If you have been following the weather reports (that's almost the only topic in the news), there has been plenty of ice and snow across the USA. But not very much here.
Luckily for me the merchants of Frederick provided me with some ice sculptures.
February 2 - a nicely carved block of ice,
but no room for my blog name.
February 2 - an ice game table.
February 19 - a snow flake among the rain drops.
February 22 - You can count the sleet pellets in this ice "storm".
But I chose the ice covered gate for my header. We had rain followed by freezing cold. This gate is in an area where water drains from the field and on this day the right end of the gate was firmly locked in ice.

Our World - Tree trimming
Our neighborhood has tree-lined streets and at least one tree in the back yard. Vince and his crew were at a neighbor's last week clearing out some dead branches and limbs that might damage the roof. The power pole saws allow a lot of high cutting from the ground.
The small branches get chipped and used later for mulch.
But how do you get a large limb down that overhangs the roof? very carefully, in pieces. Vince climed the tree to get a rope on the limb. The the man on the roof cut a section and the third man lowered it to the ground. Vince does our trees every 4 or 5 years and will be back this spring again.

Header Challenge - The two of us
The Two of Us have been a couple for 30 years. My header is from May 2005 when we were enjoying the spring flowers in our yard (we still do). Just to show we can "dress up" and go places, here is the photographer's picture of the two of us with our first granddaughter at her wedding last June.
The Two of Us at Walt Disney World December 2003.
The Two of Us in April 1986 when we got married.
It's been a great time together, Marianne.
Let's do it another 27 years!
