My child is visiting for the weekend. They wanted to go ice skating out on our frozen lake. It turned a gloomy, cold day into a magical, laughter filled memory maker. #winter #Michigan #Lake #iceskating #ice

And the obligatory pictures at either end of the canal (including my all-natural frosted tips, lmao)

My Christmas present to my daughters and their dog. I cleared snow for two ice rinks on the frozen lake behind grandparents’ home. No need to buy stuff, when gifts of time and shared experiences bring joy and lifetime memories. #iceHockey #iceskating #OptOutdoors #OptOutside #outdoors #OutdoorHockey #doodle #poodle #happyholidays #merrychristmas

⛸️ Today all the 7.8 kilometres of the Rideau Canal Skateway opened! The weather was not too cold (1C) and the ice condition was rated “Very Good” which is not something I’ve seen often. It’s been 2 years since I’ve been there. Last year it only opened for 10 days, and I didn’t get a chance to go and the year before it didn’t even open because of weather conditions.

I went there with my partner, and we skated for almost 2 hours for a total of 13 km! The ice was very good indeed, with just a few cracks and bumps. And I was glad I could happily glide along it. It’s the farthest we’ve ever skated. A light snow started to fall halfway through our route, and it started to get wet, with the snow melting on the surface of our clothes. But we made it back where we started! I was exhausted at the end, feeling like I had run a 10k, even though we took breaks along the way. But it was energizing and fun. I did fall once because of a bump on the ice, but it was very slow motion, and I used all the training I had on how to fall safely. I was okay!

I love my recent pair of figure ice skates; they are comfortable and warm. I finally found ice skates that don’t hurt my feet!

We went ice skating on the Canal in the morning, then in the afternoon we had our weekly Ice-Skating class. I definitely had less energy during the class, but I made it all right. I’m still working on my forward crossovers, backwards skating and 1-foot glides.

The weather forecast looks good for the Canal for the next couple of weeks, so I’d like to skate there again before the end of this winter.

Now I need some hot chocolate ☕.

For personal reasons, I needed an image of a hockey stop and I wasn't happy with the clip art options I was finding in the usual places one finds clipart. So, I made my own in Adobe Illustrator. #hockeystop #hockeyskates #iceskating #illustration #vector

At least nine kids are visible on the ice, one having fallen and holding the leg of another. The kids most clearly visible are boys. Leafless trees surround the pond, and some buildings are visible.

Went out skating on the Rideau Canal today - conditions were great! I really hope they get the whole length open this year (seems likely)!

I usually try to skate the length every weekend it's open - how many times will that end up being this year? We'll find out!

Hordes of skaters going in all directions on the frozen Rideau canal, at the Somerset access point. A footbridge crosses the canal overhead.

I'm about 95% recovered from my bout of COVID, but I still haven't been doing a lot of outside running lately.

Thus, my YouTube video this week is something entirely different! I had to do a little sound editing in places (obviously the drone doesn't pick up audio) but the ice sounds are quite real! It was crazy.

Minor sports injury with bit of blood

Good ice today on the neighborhood pond, maybe too slick even! oldest kid took a bad fall and busted his chin.

In other news over the counter wound closure options have improved quite a bit since I was a young, making stitches a bit less of a necessity these days.

📷 by Artist: #AlfredEisenstaedt in Loc.: #StMoritz Switzerland 🇨🇭 1934 - Title: "Melitta Brunner beim Eiskunstlauf" - #Art #Streetart #Ice #PhotoArt #Artist #Iceskating #Winter #Fotografie #Photography #BnW #Masterclass #APhotoLove

Photograph. An old black and white photo of a female ice skater on a frozen lake, taken from above. The sunlight falls like a spotlight on the young woman in the long dress in her athletic movement. She herself appears like a graceful shadow. All around her are the endless circles of scratched ice from her laps on the lake. Wonderful play with light and a perfect shot. Info: The photograph shows the Austrian figure skating champion Melitta Brunner training on the ice in St. Moritz in 1934. Alfred Eisenstaedt (1898 - 1995) was one of the most influential photojournalists of the 20th century. He was adept at both humorous photo reportages and time-critical photographs. He photographed people from contemporary history as well as completely unknown people. Eisenstaedt preferred to rely on the lighting conditions he found and worked with highly sensitive film material and an open aperture; he did without flash and staged scenes in order to preserve the authenticity of the situation.

I grew up in western Massachusetts. In the winter, the park department would check the thickness of the ice on local ponds & lakes so the public could skate safely.

When it was really cold for a while, they would plow the snow off the lake so we could skate. One lake at Forest Park was a long one. I could skate for a 1/4 mile before I had to turn around.

I miss those days. I can’t skate anymore, my knees & back won’t let me. #WinterSports
