  3. Baino,
    Honestly, I thought of you when I posted these photos. And that they might make you feel a tad cooler. We could use a little more sunshine and warmth over here. Ah well, it's never enough or always too... Still, 43 would be tooooooo for me too.

    Jabblog,
    Well spotted! I wondered if anyone would notice how uncomfortable the bike really is.

  4. My guess is that my hemorrhoids might just quit burning so much were I to sit on that.
    No snow here, but the rain, which we really need, hasn't let up like the weather folks said it would.

  5. Oh wow Carolina, what a beautiful still life photo of the trees and the bench! Just absolutely gorgeous.

    Um, I don't think I want a ride on that bicycle! :-0

  6. IT,
    OUCH
    Never believe what weather folks tell you. Their guess is as good as yours. Where the weather is concerned that is ;-)

    OZ Girl,
    Hmm, yes that was one of the few photos that came out wonderfully well. Difficult circumstances with the fog and everything being white. Lucky shot ;-)

  7. Maybe that's a new kind of bike that makes you stand up to pedal.

  8. Chris,
    maybe...
    It certainly doesn't make you sit down ;-)

  9. I love how stark everything looks!

  10. I love the second photo especially, the emptiness of it all.

    I had to look twice to see that bike properly. Perhaps he takes his saddle with him to save the bike from being stolen!

  11. I pretty much had to give up winter biking due to Raynauds Disease. Bummer.

  12. Beautiful scenery but no thanks to the bikes. Brrrrrr!

  13. lol, i will give the bike a miss too. Actually it must be quite hard to cycle in that snow.

    Ours has been gone for a while now, part of me wishes it would come back as Holly & Zac love it. Although it got so icy here i don't really want it back again.

    It does make nice photo shots though!

  14. Wonderful pics... all this snow is beautiful.

  15. What beautiful images! I love how you've cropped the bicycles in nice and tight, too!

    Snow is so beautiful. When it isn't here. ;)

  16. Pam,
    the atmosphere was a bit weird. Everything being white, not able to see the horizon or where the land stopped and the water started.

    Mara,
    Or he just enjoys it... ;-O

    Snowbrush,
    now I have to google Raynauds disease...

    Skittles,
    my thoughts exactly

    Samantha, Holly & Zac,
    we have bikes, but, being sensible people with drivers licences and cars, only use them in the summer.

    Together we save,
    yes, but COLD!

    Jay,
    I don't mind snow, but now most of it has thawed away and what's left is dirty gray and iced over. Not beautiful and rather dangerous.

    Life With Dogs,
    AH, BUT...if you are referring to the comfortable soft furry coat the bee is kitted out with, I must point out to you that the bee probably wouldn't agree with someone sitting on it and the defense mechanism it is also kitted out with. OUCH!

  17. No need to Google Raynauds.

    "Raynaud's disease: a disease characterized by spasm of the arteries in the extremities, esp. the fingers. It is typically brought on by constant cold or vibration, and leads to pallor, pain, numbness, and in severe cases, gangrene. ORIGIN late 19th cent.: named after Maurice Raynaud (1834–81), French physician."

    What this means is that I can get frostnip just from taking food out of the frig (much less serious winter activities). My fingers quickly turn yellowish white and won't warm up without the application of an external heat source.

  18. I love these shots--specially the top one!

  19. Snowbrush,
    that sounds very painful and difficult to deal with. Even if you take something out of the fridge? Gosh. Sorry that you're suffering from this.

    Rose,
    :-) thank you
