Icicles!   February 05, 2026 A couple of weeksw ago a snowstorm went through the region. We got some snow, but unlike other places, we didn't get a huge amount. It's been below freezing since then. But we have had some days in the 20s (°F), which was enough to melt some of the snow sitting on black rooftops. Of course they don't stay in liquid form too long and so we get icicles. I noticed these outside my window. I like the combination of smooth and undulating/intestine-y texture on them (yeah, yeah, I know, “ribbed for her pleasure”). There were also bits of blue sky today, so it made for a nice contrast. The full size image is here.

I tend to doodle. Over the years, I've accumulated lots of random sketches of things, sometimes people, sometimes things, and sometimes just abstract lines. The basic idea on these pages is for me to slowly scan in highlights from my collection of random quick doodles. I also am providing a place where I can explain what it is or what motivated it or perhaps some reason why I'm not to blame. With the sketches of people, their name may be hand-written, or there might be a talk title provided, but I will tend to avoid providing full names. I don't mind if people know who they are, I just don't want them coming up on search engine hits, since that might be a bit rude.

Note that the images are PNGs with transparency. Mozilla and Firefox properly render them. Safari too, I think. Internet Exporer doesn't. I don't care.
