View from my greenhouse window to front garden (the plaque is my Trillium Award won for my 2008 garden given by the Grimsby (Ontario) Garden Club)
Icicle bird on wisteria branches and trellis.  At first it looked as if it was flying upwards.
As more ice accumulated on the bird, it levelled out to a more horizontal position and added a little beak.
Snow cushions?
Snow-topped sedum seedheads; 15 minutes later, the tops were blown away.

There are dozens of photos in my winter garden.  Here are five, some of them taken from my greenhouse.  The first two could be a take-off on the Superman saying:  It's a bird; no, it's a plane; no, it's ICICLE BIRD!!
