Winter Hours

I have recently
taken up
two new sports:
Ice Skating and
ankle spraining,
in that order.
I am getting
quite good
at both.

This quote does not currently pertain to me. I have not been ice skating in a very long time. I enjoyed it when I was young...but my poor ankles did not. I do use vintage skates to make a display for Christmas and dream of gliding across the rink. The winter solstice is on its way.

Nice on black.

Sweet image, I love the pastel tones :)

Lovely image. I think the thought of ice skating is nice one, in reality it’s not always what we expected - not for me anyway, who totters around on the ice! Lol

I like your shot and think of the last time I tried skating. I fell on my bum just after getting out on the ice and got hurt I hardly couldn't walk in a week.

This is gorgeous. Such lovely soft colours. Great set up.

Why are there always consequences to our fun as we get older? I admire your gumption.

@ddw Thanks, Dana...no ankle sprain here! Just the quote made me laugh as I remembered how much my ankles hurt when I did ice skate! :)
