It Only Hurts When I Blog

Greetings, Bloggy Icicle Fans!

You know - Icicle is a weird looking word, isn't it?

We saw SO many beautiful icicles when we were in the mountains. They were everywhere, and all different sizes and shapes.

Icicles are beautiful, but dangerous too!

That reminds me of a trip Charlie and I took to Pickett State Park in Tennessee some years ago (that's because we can't remember how many years it has been).

We went hiking to a cave that had huge, overhanging icicles at the entrance. While we were inside the cave, one FELL, and burst with a sound like a cannon going off. It was quite scary!

If a hiker had been where that huge icicle fell, they would have been injured and possibly killed.

So - the moral of the story is - do NOT take photos of icicles while standing UNDER them, be sure you aren't in the 'falling ice zone'.

TTFN and have a nice Thursday!
