We are in a deep freeze, too. My little poochie doesn't even like to go out for her washroom break. :)

What a clever idea, Helvi. A reminder that, once the ice melts, we're in for more flowers and blossoms.

    I've had a lot of pain in my life ao I know how precious a smile can be. Knowing my daydream caused you to smile is one of the best gifts I could have asked for. Thank you my friend for wonderful review. Hope we both get an early spring. :o) Helvi

Glad it is you and not me finding such cold weather on your door! But good on you for being so creative and turning it into such a positive and creating such a captivating image. Beautiful colours. Well done.

This is a really neat shot, and your additions were fun and have a story all on their own.
I have mixed feelings about the hand in view. I can tell it needs to be there, but I still don't like it. Perhaps if you were wearing gloves...?
Thanks for sharing.

The subtle play of color harmony and the great drawing add to the overall impact of this mixed media art. A very strong work indeed.

Fabulous and original idea, love it. Nice colours and you've managed your editing tools very well and with a subtle skill. My only problem with it and this is in my view only, is the hand, I'd have cropped that out. But it doesn't detract from you great work and effort in creating a very interesting piece!

Great photograph. I love how you took the photo of the icicle and then you added the flowers inside. It looks great, you did a wonderful job
