I like this one. Ice covering the branches of a tree, during the, uh, Ice Situation of '04. This is one of the four trees around our house in the grassy bits by the road (I want to call those medians, but that's clearly wrong). I'm not sure what kind of trees they are. One of them lost a couple of major limbs during the thaw.

Oh, and the thing in the lower left corner is a power line.
