Oh Gudl, they are amazing! Especially the close up ~~ I felt like I was inside one of those caves that have those kind of things hanging everywhere. (It's a long name, and I don't have time to look it up) but I bet Melissa knows!
Yes they are interesting, but I hate to see them here! :)
Hey Wanda! They are called Stalactites (the ones that grow down in a cave). The ones that grow up are called Stalagmites.
And yes these icicles are amazing. I think it's interesting how when we think of them we think of sharp smooth dagger shapes, but they often have ridges and bumps all around.
The amazing thing about stalagmites and stalactites is you can't see them in a cave. They grow in the dark. Well most of the time you only see them when somebody turns on the lights. LOL
Ice and freezing drops of water can be seen almost anytime and those things come to mind in the heat of summer when it is so hot and humid that the bugs are sweating. That is when it is best to think of frozen ice drops.
I am so anxious to get rid of the last ice and get on with flowers bugs and bees.
And I found two honey bees yesterday. And photographed them. They were on some sunflowers chips and pieces and on pieces of peanuts. I don't know what food value there is on that but there they were.
Tolle Struktur!
I was just about to write the same thing as Wanda. They do look like what you see in caves! How interesting when you look at them up close.

Reminds me of Narnia.
Not that I've been there of course.
I enlarged them and my screen froze so I had to reboot! Wow they are cold, nice for breaking off and slipping in my vodka!

I remember sucking on icicles as a child. They tasted like dirt.
