How interesting that both you and ‘the other Steve’ went a little batty today. Without your title, I might have seen bells, but now there’s no un-seeing bats in this belfry.

I am generally a touch batty. They do resemble bells or toys like the tops we played with s kids. Maybe fancy dreidels too.

Nice capture–it looks like some creature that Frodo would need to escape from.

Your saying that reminded me of Bilbo fighting with the spiders and rescuing his comrades. Thanks, Tina!

Glad that you enjoyed them, Jet! I made another similar image and called it wizards’ hats in the wild. Thanks!

As striking as the picture is, my first impression, from a distance, reminded me of a blobfish…

I think it’s kind of cute. Ugly is such an ugly word.

I get to see these shaped icicles fairly often where there is rapidly splashing moving water. I am lucky to live where the air gets cold enough to create these sculptures and abstracts.
