Rained all of the preceding day, followed by freezing cold temps overnight. Resulted in nicely frozen water drops that started to thaw the next morning. Backlit by the morning sky, before the sun crested the roof of our house.

I haven’t taken pictures just for the sake of taking pictures for a while. The other night I decided to change that. I started out with a candle, trying to get a good ambient shot of my daughter or my wife. Those didn’t come out so well. Then I shot the candle by itself - those did come out. Then I remembered a promotion item we had, a flashing replica ice cube. I grabbed it, turned it so the LED was in a steady on state, and fired away. I like how it came out. Sometimes you need to shoot just for the sake of it.
