365project, heart, ice, photo a day, winter

I really do love winter, but I am over- so over– this bitter freeze.  This afternoon it got up to 40 and you’d think it were spring.  People were wearing shorts and the park was full.  There was still ice everywhere.  I even saw a guy ice skating.  This is not normal for this part of the country.

Coe and I got out for a nice walk and I snapped off a few fun shots.  While some other dogs were willing to checkout the new solid ponds, she was having none of that.

Ice is cool

ice, Shelby Farms, snow day

We had a snow day yesterday.  While the rest of the east coast is getting dumped on, ours lasted a day and now it’s a big muddy mess.  But while it lasted, it was pretty.

I really like the ice that forms in puddles and paw prints.  It reminds me of the movie Sweet Home Alabama and how they talk about glass art that forms when lightening strikes sand.

Here are a few shots I’ve taken over the last couple days.  Click on them to see a larger image.

Coe is the least patient photo subject.  She has gotten to the point when she sees me point the camera at her she turns her head and rolls her eyes.  Mom…stop…

While we didn’t get quite as much snow as last year, here’s a look back.  Hope you are all staying warm and safe, and enjoying the cold beauty as much as I am.

ice, iphone photos, weightless

Sometimes I know instantly what photo speaks to the week’s challenge, other times it takes an ah-ha moment. This was one of those…

  

There were all these puddles last weekend when Coe and I went for our walk. The ice was just floating in the paw and shoe prints. 

  
In response to this week’s photo challenge.

Snowed in

We have been snowed in since Thursday evening.  While I was delighted to have a few days trapped indoors, the one who was the happiest about this situation was Ginger.  She has been curled by my side, snuggled into my sweater, and following me from room to room.  I am getting the impression she’d like me to be around a little more.  This is pretty funny since she is the quintessential cat and generally has little to no interest in me unless it involves my providing her sustenance.

Coe and I got out for a walk to the grocery and the park on Saturday.  Sunday’s outing lasted just long enough for us to slip around one block while dodging ice falling from the power lines and trees.  Ginger decided almost immediately that snow was something she never needed to encountered again.  I spent the days baking and watching the critters in the yard.  I had 6 or 8 robins playing and following me around at one point.

All hail Mother Nature for giving me a real three day weekend.  I have caught up on NCIS, Sherlock Series 2 and 3 , gobs of cooking shows, finished my taxes, and the giant pile to sort for Goodwill.  I also ran into the snow in my pajamas and slippers to rescue a very friendly but poorly trained pitbull running about in the street.  His human came running up just as I was about to throw him in the yard.  She had no leash and was going to drag him home by the collar.  He would have pulled her off her feet in no time.  I gave her one of our leashes and if we never see it again, it has gone to a good cause.

As much as I have enjoyed this down time, I’m almost willing to admit, I am looking forward to going to work tomorrow.  Ginger will survive as she normally does, curled up on the wool sweater I leave out just for her.
