I took a little drive by the Connecticut River this morning and came across some serious icicles on some serious rocks.

I see formations like this everyday on my way to and from work, but these were extra-nice due to the recent freeze-thaw-snow-rain cycles we've been having lately, and they were on the shady side of the river.

That last pic is some chunks that had freed themselves from their rocks. Sorry I wasn't around for it, they were big chunks.

Back at home, I began preparing some Coconut Lime cupcakes to take to the "Tropical Superbowl" party that we were invited to this evening. I used this cupcake, and topped it with this icing. Observe.

A little break, while they cool...

A little toasted coconut and lime wedge, and there you have it.

And, on a final precautionary note, as is always true with driving & cupcakes...
