Gazania, I wish I could have done that at one time. I think it would be way cool. Jasdip, that is cool. It looks like a woodland scene. Nicole, thanks for the feeling of warmth. I needed that. LOL We don't have this ice right now. This was from a few years ago. It's actually really cold, but sunny today.

While posting the above I remembered a sign I saw in a national park in Southern Brazil warning of stinging caterpillars that might be found in that area. I just now looked up the species mentioned on that sign, and found that the Lonomia obliqua Caterpillar is referred to as "The World's Most Venomous Caterpillar" or "The World's Deadliest Caterpillar". It apparently is responsible for more deaths per year (3 / year) than Sharks ( 1 every other year) One lady was stung on the toe by one that was in her slipper. Four days later she lapsed into a coma due to the sting, and three days after that she died. OMG.
