When water has nowhere to go

When downspouts freeze

Please don’t mind if I duck out of the circus for a bit. I’ll be over here, in my driveway, looking for abstract things that bring me joy.

Like the icicles that seem to tumble out of the downspout just above the pavement, frozen in place by winter’s relentless grip.

It isn’t something that normally grabs anyone’s attention, but if you happen to catch the late afternoon light just so, it’s worth a closer look.

It’s another example of spontaneous wonder playing out in the most unexpected of places. And another validation of why we need scenes like this now more than ever.
