With that said, I've another snippet from
Wickedly They Come:
Tumbling
out of the heated car and into the bracing
outdoors, Jordan couldn’t help but
admire the
patina of iridescence on fallen snowflakes. Shoving
on gloves and
wrapping her scarf securely around
her neck, her eyes gradually adapted to the
brilliance. Impressed, Jordan gazed in wonder at
frost-encased tree limbs
glistening with frozen
droplets of thawing ice captured in time, giving
them a
surreal clarity.
Lovely aliteration! Juliet atCity Muse Country Muse

ReplyDeleteHello, Cathrina! That's such a lovely description. I've always enjoyed the beauty of icicles, too! When I was a kid I liked breaking them off and licking them like a popsicle.
ReplyDeleteHappy A to Z-ing! from Laura Marcella @ Wavy Lines
Me too, Laura. Thanks for commenting.
DeleteOh, I loved imagining the scene as Jordan gazed up at the tree limbs, beautiful imagery. And I love icicles as "frozen fingers," so true.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by again, Julie!!
DeleteI love the discription. It reminds me of the local trees after last Monday's storm.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting, Scott.
DeleteOh how I miss the cold weather and icicles. There's nothing so beautiful (as long as I'm well wrapped up). That's a lovely snippet.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I look forward to summer, now.
DeleteSO jealous! Around here, the only icicles we get are the ones that form after your beer explodes in the freezer. Gorgeous pics - they go perfectly with the text!
ReplyDelete(And although I'm terribly late to the game: GRATS BOOK DEAL, ma'am. That is so exciting! You must be on cloud 9!)

DeleteAs children we used to lick icicles. Nasty I know, but we were children, what did we know?
