In the second of a three part pictorial on the ice storm of 2013 that hit Ontario, we take a close-up look at the beauty of the ice storm and the nearly 30mm of freezing rain that fell over the course of twenty four hours, coating everything with a thick layer of sparkling ice.
Normally this coat of ice lasts a morning before it melts. This time, thanks to dropping temperatures, the ice remained for five days, providing ample opportunity for photographing.
Most of these pictures were captured using a macro lens and a Really Right Stuff tripod.

The red branches of a silver leaf dog covered with ice
Another branch coveredwith ice..the back lighting and the tree in the background really make the white of the ice pop
Crab apples and the branch coated in ice
The ice piles high on the branches and berries
