Icy Nails

Our deck became slick and rigid after a recent ice storm - February weather in December! Walking across it elicited loud, sharp cracks that unnerved me, and undermined my confidence in it being able to hold my weight. It sounded as if it would collapse at any moment, as if I was walking on a glass sheet that was cracking beneath me.

All I wanted to do was photograph this row of what looked like a snowman's buttons


Up close, the nail heads were raised and shiny with refrozen ice
