The snow it melts the soonest

Please view large.
Snow melting on the branches of one of the shrubs in the flower bed. I tried hard to catch a drip as it fell but had to admit defeat when I realised I couldn't feel my fingers too well!
The title of the shot is taken from a folk song I like that was collected in Northumberland in 1821. I must knuckle down and learn it in the new year.

Amazing mini icicle! You certainly played well after your breakfast! Our snow has all but gone-thank goodness- the horses have been in all day, they'll be bonkers tomorrow!

A brilliant shot. You had a good time in the snow. We still have snow in the garden but it is a bit 'sloshy'

Yes, its certainly better viewed large! Lovely focus on the droplet!

I like that icicle. It looks like a mitten. Very nice picture.

Like the detail in the drip.
