About ten minutes and thirty shots later I finally captured a drop, though it came out pretty blurry. Still, after all those shots, I've deemed it blog-worthy.

WOW. That shot is amazing! It is indeed blog worthy. WOW.
Congrats to all the posts of the week! :)
THAT takes some patience and determination! Turned out amazing. Way to go.
You made me smile. A few weeks ago, I was determined to capture a droplet falling from an icicle, too. I finally did, but I didn't deem mine to be blog-worthy. You did a much better job. :)
Can I call you the "Icicle Drop Catcher" from now on? ;-) Awesome photograph, Hilary
This was a surprise, thanks so much for the honor dear Hilary. :)
Oh! I almost for to compliment your wonderful capture. Terrific timing and focus.
*forgot
(what has happened to me?)
Oh wow Hilary, I love that image of the falling drops, it is so cool in so many ways.;)) Time standing still...
Congratulations to everyone mentioned.;)
xoxo
Many wonderful bloggers here and that photo, again, took me back to childhood and seeing icicles from gutters of homes in Winter! :)
Your determination and focus paid off big time! Hope you didn't get a stiff neck and...how many buses did you miss? ;) Whatever the cost, it was worth it. The blue sky background sets off the icicle brilliantly. I love the baby drop in the middle :) I look forward to checking out the POTW.
Well done Hilary for having the time and patience to finally capture those drips. Good shooting! - Dave
Definitely blog worthy! Those shots are fabulous!!
Hugs

those shots are gorgeous they look like crystal
Only 30 shots?
Your bus service must be on a par with ours.
Well worth the wait.
color me impressed hilary...great shot...nice to see a bunch of my rowdy friends on the list this week...smiles.
WOW, indeed!
Definitely a blog-worthy shot! (Did you miss your bus in the name of photography?)
Off for some good reads...
Thank you, as always! :)
Catching one of those drops is not as easy as it seems.You did well.It is fun trying to get just the perfect drop.
Oh My!! What a shock to see my post up there! I am totally honored. Thank you Hilary!
Good grief, I was so shocked I forgot to comment about your stunning icicle shots...hi-5 for patience!
Good for your for getting the drip. Well done.
Wow is all I can say, again. Your patience must increase that incredible camera eye of yours, but trust me, I am learning and one day I MIGHT be half as good as you!
That dropping water shot is absolutely incredible Hilary! What patience you must have!!
drips, NICE!
Well done on that capture Hilary. Not an easy subject to get.
Thank you for the POTW mention too :)

Beautiful shots, Hilary! I am in awe and so glad you let us know you had to take many to get the one or two!
Congrats to all the POTW! I hope to visit them all soon and see what kind of goodies await.
The blue of the sky is amazing!
I liked kerri and Keith today. The readers pick was a lot of fun also.Nice drip, I waited for them a few times myself.
Love the drop! I've been watching some come off of our roof wondering if I could catch a shot of the drop, now I know - not easily!
Thanks for POTW!
Love the photos. Sad to see Winter come to an end. It won't be long before the icicles are all gone.
Oh my, Hilary, you are incredible. To capture drops falling off the icicle shows your persistence. Great photos.
Thank you for including my post in your recommendations this week. Sincere thanks.
I love that shot! Ten minutes!! Do you have a tripod?
Congrats to the winners.
Its a superb drip drop ..
That drop was worth the wait. Good work.
And thanks for POTW -- that was one I really enjoyed writing.
What a fabulous shot of the water dripping. I tried to take a similar shot and failed.. this is stunning!
And congrats to everyone on their features.
A good lesson: a talented photographer has to be patient (and quick).
thanks for the lesson in photography and patience :-)

I am blown away by those great shots and just a tad jealous too!!!
What a shot!
God bless and have a remarkable day sweetie!!!
That is an amazing shot!
blog worthy says it all. thanks for sharing that.
Thank heavens it's too late for me to practice on icicles this year. But yours sure is nice ~
Tough to do those photos. I have had some failures, and perhaps no successes.
What an amazing shot--patience is rewarded! Beyond blog worthy, without question.
Thank you so much for the POTW mention; it is more than generous of you. I am honored to be in such company. Congratulations, all!
And if you are taking suggestions, may I recommend "In Silence" by Cricket of Cricket and Porcupine (you don't need to be religious to appreciate his meditation on grace); and deb colarossi's
brave "who knew?" at TALK AT THE TABLE, which speaks for itself. Beautifully.
You have so much patience to wait for that shot. But I'm glad you did!
I love ice dripping in the cold weather. GREAT shot worth the wait.
I want to read at least one of the POTW. So much HW!
Blog-worthy to be sure! This is a great shot. I admire your perseverance.

You did it!
blog worthy!!?
it's stunning
I think it's a cool, cool shot..but the bigger question...did you miss your bus trying to get that drop?
Thanks so much for the honor for my photography post.
I was totally shocked when I saw it mentioned.
I love your icicles and the drip. You have more patience than I do. That shot would be perfect for next weeks letter "I".
Definitely blog-worthy!! And congrats to everyone! I hope I get around to them all this week.
Thanks for stopping by, everyone. I always appreciate your kind words and how you always show you support to those who were named as POTW.
For those who asked, I did not miss the bus. I had a 25 minute wait and I filled that time nicely.
This put a big smile on my face. The colors are stunning and the blue sky makes the ice look so happy... The fact that it's dripping only means it's warming up there :-)
Thanks a million for the POTW shout-out. It's greatly appreciated. And Jill's post was such a treat to see and great.
Hope your week is going great. I'm heading out on vacation tomorrow. Yippee. xo jj
Blogworthy indeed ... an amazing picture!
Very well done. I can barely hold a camera still long enough to get a point and click clear shot with a flash.
I appreicate your kindness!
Catching that in mid-drop is pretty AWESOME!!!
Belated congrats to all of the POTW...
and what an endeavor
and result
Looks like rain for the rest of the week.... which is a promising thing..
I love your perseverance and patience.
love the icicle shots though they certainly do make me shiver!
I would like to suggest this lovely post for your post of the week: http://moredoors.blogspot.com/2011/03/day-mother-nature-made-me-smile.html
