Ice castles and playgrounds in the snow - Sublime and Beautiful Sunday - Actifit: January 2 2022
Tonight I went walking just before dusk. I feared I had missed the opportunity to take any really good pictures because during the beautifully sunny earlier part of the day I was busy with a project and couldn’t get outside for a walk. Wow, it it was a bright day, with sunshine glinting off snow. But since the sun sets a little after 4:30 pm, if I don’t get out the door by 3:00 or so, I’ve missed my chance!
Anyway, I was taking pictures of this and that hoping at least a few pictures would be fun for my blog post as I walked around my neighborhood and all of a sudden I saw this!
The thing was massive — about 30 feet high. I assume it was created with a garden hose and probably too several days to build. It is so cold in Minnesota right now that you can toss a pan of hot water into the air and the droplets will freeze by the time they clatter to the ground!
Also on my expedition I walked through a children’s playground, which was lying in wait for the spring thaw and for the squeals of delighted children to return once again to play.
I also took pictures of the park benches where the parents sit to watch their children play, as well as the tennis court and drinking fountain. There is something so poignant about these things that are so full of life in the warm months just lying idle.
And finally, I took a selfie just because it is kind of hilarious how much stuff I have to wear during the extreme cold periods. Today it “warmed up” to 7 degrees Fahrenheit, which is better than yesterday when it was below zero. (You can see the difference if you look at my picture in yesterday’s post.
Well my friends, that is all for my Sublime and Beautiful Sunday post. Thank you to
