Rhino on Ice

Today I had an opportunity to go ice skating with a bunch of friends. It was only the second time in my life to attempt that and I’ve never owned a pair of roller blades, though I've roller bladed on occasion before I have not had any practice at all in the last few years. Needless to say I spent most of my time frequenting the sideboards, smiling embarrassingly at onlookers, assuring parents that I was not a threat to their kids well-being on the ice and picking myself up off the floor.

It was fun doing something new despite feeling like a toddler learning to walk and doing so in a public recreation venue. As my motto goes opportunities are limitless and I try to seize them and learn something new even if I look like a fool till I get the hang of it. I just hope it does not take another 10 years till I get another shot at this, untill then the NHL draft will have to wait.

Winter Wonderland?

Here I am in a winter land but the only wonder on my mind is when it will end. Snow is nice and all but as an outdoor photographer I like to be it really has just been to cold this year to do much of anything.

Here is one pic I was able to take recently that added a nice perspective to winter; most importantly that I can look at it on my PC from the comfort of my nice warm house till the spring.

Today actually was not very cold and was out and around with a friends old A1 Canon 35 mm film camera. It has a good zoom lens and hope I got some good rural life shots from quite far away, I guess I’ll have to wait till the roll is developed to see what comes of that experiment.
