a winter’s day, in a deep and dark December…

# 3638

It’s 93° (F) in Webster (Where Life is Worth Living) and I thought being surrounded by ice would be a good idea.

I know exactly what you mean. I really enjoy my daily trip to the small local supermarket to collect the daily newspaper. I walk round the Chiller aisles twice just to cool down! Love the image, Ken

I do exactly the same thing. I have gotten pretty good at looking at frozen foods and pretending I’m actually interested in them.

Nice shot – only five months until that kind of weather shows up in earnest around here. (November and December are usually pretty tame here in Denver…)

We have several more week of potentialy hot weather but by September it’s usually really nice, not too hot and not too cool.

In winter, we want summer. In summer, prefer winter … even in Webster, where life is worth living. 🙂

Lovely shot, Ken.

Thanks, Paul. It’s the extremes we frail folks can’t handle (even in Webster – Where Life is Worth Living)!

You are a rock? An island?

This is beautiful – it’s simple and elegant. And makes all us feel cool again.

Man, you are SHARPE!!!! You know an obscure quote from a 40+ year old song? Thank you!

  I’m a Simon and Garfunkel from way back…

  Simon and Garfunkel FAN, I meant to say.

  I’m a fan too and a Simon fan. Don’t know what happened to Garfunkel, though.

  Yes, I am a Paul Simon fan, too. His album “So Beautiful or So What” is almost exactly the same length as my drive to work; there are quite a few days where I listen to it on my drive.
  
  Garfunkel? I don’t know, either….

You’re always welcome to come visit us, Ken. Everything is just right here on the island. Except, of course, for a couple of errant Toads that just can’t seem to sit still for long.

Thanks, Toad. I’d love to visit your area. I’m brushing up on my Canadian, too!

I am a leaf in the wind, and a leaf in the wind feels the pain.

You would not like Webster (Where Life is Worth Living) or, more accurately “Where the wind keeps blowing except on days when you really need it”.

I love shots of leaves embedded in ice – can’t say why. Maybe it’s the reassurance that life is, indeed, a circle and that seasons follow the same pattern…nice work!

Thanks, John. With all the snow we get we have to shoot these leaves in the ice before the snow flies. After that, it’s all over. It’s a short season.
