In case you live in the midwest and haven't noticed, the roads (and most everything else) are covered with a glaze of ice this grey January day.  There have been bits of sleet slowly falling since morning.  The funny thing was....I went outside to take a few pictures, but the transparent, glossy sheet my feet were sliding on was pretty much invisible!  Though I could hardly stand because even the grassy areas are like oiled glass, it was very difficult to see the slippery evidence - therefore my photo opportunities were hindered severely. 

Oh well, I decided to resort to color from the files of sunny extravagance!  Here's a bit more pink for an icy, cold day.  After attempting to simply walk past the end of my porch and driveway, I would recommend not risking a broken limb to see invisible frozen-ness!  Pictures of ice?  Perhaps tomorrow - at Tara!
