This week's challenge is repetition and patterns in nature.  We happened to go to Crystal Mountain ski resort this weekend and I was looking for ideas and things to take for this assignment.  These icicles beautifully glittered under the sunshine right at the edge of the roof top was a little surprise on Sunday morning.  I was debating on flipping this to B&W but decided to keep the original color.  Since the shadow kinda manifest itself beautifully and I don't need more contrast.  The cold freezing ice over the moss has to be seen.  I still don't have tripod yet so definitely gonna fix that soon!

Side story,  I've got to read the assignment more carefully.  I didn't read the rule carefully that "No man made pattern" was this week's assignment. So during the trip I definitely took some that's pattern from man made structure but it happens to be next week's assignment! Before I take a better one, I'll share this here.

Now couple of shots from my hubby's phone that we had a great day at Crystal Mountain.  It was super windy. The snow condition wasn't that great. Icy and crunchy mostly.  Not so great for snowboarders.  So we stayed on the groomed run mostly. But the view was absolutely fantastic. We could see Mount Rainier's breath taking view at the top of Crystal.  One memorable part was, at the last run of the day, a screw of my left binding fell off whilst we were at the backside of the mountain.   I was quite a trooper to board back with that compromised board.  Thank goodness it was fine.  But definitely time to send my Feather back in to do some serious tune up for Whistler!!!
