Last week we had unseasonably cold temperatures dipping into the 20's.
When weather like this visits, nature's diamonds appear.
Our fountain in the backyard was still running despite the wintery blast.
Icy tendrils formed while drops of water still flowed.
A layer of sparkling ice covers the water in each bowl.
Sheets of crystal ice form as the fountain water bubbles over the top. 
The following day the fountain was turned off and the full effect of Winter's bling was apparent.
Diamond-like fingers sparkle in the winter sunlight.
Icicles have formed not only from the upper edge downward but from the bottom up too!
Ice is like nature's divine display of diamonds, sparkling like crystal beneath the winter sun's beaming rays of light:).
