Icy & Fuzzy

One of the ice sculptures on exhibit in downtown Frederick's First Saturday Fire in Ice event.

Some of you may remember my fuzzy friend at the ice cream shop and his seasonal changes of attire, here and here. Apropos of the upcoming day, the big fella is sporting a snazzy Valentine's vest.

Winter in the park

See? I told you I'd be back. :D

Until yesterday, I hadn't taken one picture. Not a one. Hadn't even been tempted to take one.
Instead, I've been thoroughly enjoying a leisurely, obligation-free beginning of the year. I needed to recapture the spontaneous fun with my camera instead of allowing it to become a burden.

I don't know how I'm going to do this, but I'm here now and have some photos to share of our trek to Baker Park yesterday. I was in my bench mode again...


the fountain is still, the lake ice-covered...

most feathered critters have migrated elsewhere...

the benches sit in their lonely emptiness...

waiting, patiently waiting...

guarding the still beauty...

until the warmth of the sun and friends return.

I'm baaaack...

... well, almost anyway. Soon, soon... :)
