This week, since we are having a burst of warm weather before more snow moves in tomorrow, we decided to go to the Cripple Creek Ice Festival.
The festival takes place in a former gold rush town in the mountains. It was great to look at the old buildings, as well as take in the beautiful ice carvings. The carvers start with 160 pounds of ice and create AMAZING things. Since it was warmer than normal, the poor sculptors were spending a lot of time repairing previous creations rather than making new pieces.This year's theme was Greek Mythology. This carver is working on Apollo in his chariot but he and his fellow sculptors also made Zeus, Pegasus, a cyclops, a winged victory and even a ice maze and slide for the kids to run through.
It was a wonderful day (though a little chilly)

work means the world to me - it allows my passion to draw and create,
to fit with my family life too - often the inspiration for my
designs. Hope you enjoy as much as I enjoy creating.”
