an icy approach to exercise

the wife and i rediscovered brisk walking. preparing for a brisk walk can take only a few seconds. and with the cool mornings, i can linger a little longer and enjoy those last few cuddly moments in bed. perhaps, when summer comes, i can go back to biking and enjoy the speed i sorely miss.
lately, rising is easier because i noticed ice. and i thought of photographing them and how we so casually handle them.

there was ice on the corner melting away.


she can sure use some ice.
she takes exercise seriously. and i have an excuse to slow down and not sweat so much -- i have some clicking to do.
this beggar speaks fluent english.
there was ice on the tree.
an early store.
the beggar yesterday and he wears the same clothes as the day before.
ice on the tree on another day.
joy waits patiently as i shoot the ice from different angles.
and ice in the park sidewalk.
and, she still has some energy for a wacky pose.
we can be so neat with things like these.
ice on the pavement.ice on the tree on still another day.
and finally at the clinic consuming the last few shots of my film.
