Birth of a Baby Icicle

It was interesting to witness the birth of a baby icicle against the brilliant blue sky. I watched and waited all day for the sun to move into the right position to capture some photos of the unusual icicle.The afternoon the light was just perfect. It reflected well through and off the ice and gave me a nice deep blue color in the sky. The ice was crystal clear and the golden marbling seen in the ice are reflections, likely coming from the blond colored bricks of the house.
