It was 13 degrees this morning while waiting for the bus as I headed to campus and a mocha at Morgan Library. What was I thinking or was I? Anyway the mocha hit the spot and library was warm quiet.
What was I thinking?

Working Out Our Success
A Cold and Frosty Morning “The solution of the problem of life is life itself. Life is not attained by reasoning and analysis, but first of all by living. For until we have begun to live our prudence has no material to work on. And until we have begun to fail we have no way of working out our success.”
Thomas MertonWell, I guess that means I need to take a few more bad images. I posted this image previously in color. For this image I converted it to black and white with Silver Efex Pro.

Happy New Year
Shadows across the snow Instead of creating a list of new resolutions to accomplish in the coming year, I’ve decided to make a short list of resolutions I’m not going to do for the remainder of the year.
So, beginning at noon today:
- I’m not gonna do any more laundry until next year (saves water and I live alone)
- I’m not gonna eat again until next year (have not eaten healthy the past 4 weeks – sigh)
- I’m not gonna shower again until next year (saves water and I live alone)
- I’m not gonna write another blog post until next year (a major relief for many who read this blog)
- I’m not gonna take down the tree until next year (an attitude I’m gonna hang on to for the rest of the year)
- I’m not gonna drive my car until next year (saves gas and there’s some crazy drivers on the road)
- I’m not going to clean my house until next year (I live alone and feel lazy)
- I’m not gonna pay any more insurance on the car (more coffee money)
- I’m not gonna pay any more income taxes until next year (already paid enough and afraid to think about what they do with it)
- I’m not gonna party as hard as I did last year (getting too old for the wild life)
I told you it was a short list. If you can think of any feel free to add them in the comments. I’m listening. Happy New Year to you.

Heatwave
Cold Seat We’re in a heatwave: already up to 24 degrees. Far cry from this mornings 4 degrees. I’m heading pool side for a freezer burn, as soon as I clean off the bicycle seat.

Cold Morning
Frosty Leaves Yesterday morning we awoke to our first heavy frost and temperatures in the mid twenties. I did not want to get out of bed, so I didn’t. Felt good! After a late breakfast I took the bus to campus then walked to a coffeehouse called Mugs. From there I headed to Old Town. With camera around my neck I dis some obvious people waatching. Again, the mundane stuff to some people caught my eye such as the shadows cast by a tree on a window, frost covered leaves at the bus stop and a backlit leave on a firtree. Grabbed a sandwich then a bus ride back home.

It’s Still Cold
This image is straight out of my iphone. I thought about running it through Photoshop to change the minus sign to a plus sign and put a 7 in place of the 1. I’d leave the igloo image, because it’s kool. We are expecting to warm up to a whopping 5 degrees today. Have I been transported to Michigan? Damn it’s cold!

Cold and Snow
Cold and Snow Yesterday morning is was -4 degrees (F) and snowing. This morning is warmer, up to 10 degrees (F) and bright sunny skies. Forecast is for chance of more snow the next couple of days. Brrrr! I took this image yesterday morning at the coffee shop. I noticed no one was sitting outside. Maybe they should have cleaned off the tables. 🙂

It’s Cold Outside
Nature Creating Art with Snow 2-3 inches of snow fell Friday and Saturday which I don’t mind. Well I have my limits on how much. What I do mind is when the temperatures falls and falls and falls. The snow and frost can be beautiful but the cold that goes with it are not pleasant. So, this morning at 8:01 am it was -5 (F). And, check out that humidity. Baby, it’s cold outside. Lets’ see if it reaches the predicted 27.

Cold Outside
This is what my iphone said was the temperature this morning. Notice the humidity is up there which makes it feel more like -15. Everything is frozen. Suppose to only get up to 7 degrees and more of the same thing tomorrow. I think it’s going to be night for chili soup. Stay warm and enjoy your weekend!
