Thank you Stephanie. If only I had known, I almost drove by your house on the way to New Castle this morning for sunrise. You probably would have been less than thrilled to get a knock on your door that early though. 🙂
Thanks Gary. It’s funny you should say that. I’ve always thought that lone black duck standing among the mallards in the first photo looked like he was a little full of himself. Preening away as I took their picture.
So.. the treadmill has been prepared. I’ve started to prepare it for movement. – Offloaded all the boxes and other assorted crap…
Spoke to it nicely, asked it not to crush my foot again when I moved it this time around – so I don’t have to kick it.
I think it is content.
I just have to wait for Stuart (My housemate of almost 27 who is more like a third child) to get home from IT contract stuff in the middle of whoop whoop…
Are you ready? I reckon we should start a challenge!!
That would be fun, since you are my only friend in the app. 🙂 It will certainly keep me motivated. Last night I just wasn’t feeling it and gave up after 3 miles. I really miss running outside, but with over 12″ of fresh snow on the ground it will be a while before I do any outdoor running. Watching the scenery change motivates me, watching the concrete wall in the basement, not so much.
Baby step my dear, baby steps. After a while it really isn’t that hard. I was up to almost 6 before I hurt my ankle over the summer. I don’t consider myself a dedicated runner by any means. It is strictly a means to an end. I was tired of feeling like I was going to cough up a lung on my hikes. So in preparation for hiking Mt. Washington, the highest peak in the Eastern U.S., I started running. I do enjoy it, but 5-6 miles at a go is more than enough for me. Once I reach that distance goal, it will be “how much faster can I cover that distance,” that I’ll challenge myself with. A friend keeps trying to get me to do a 5K with her. I have zero interest. I know how fast I can cover that distance, without doing it in a crowd.
For me, the right play list on my iPhone makes all the difference, indoors or out. Nothing even remotely mellow on my running play list. And I have a few really kick-ass “Power Songs” set up in the app for when I’m doing intervals.
I typically do 5kms… lol @ your no interest (Mr mega-run-pants!)
I have not run for some time though so I expect to start out doing 1km bouts about 5 times per day. After a few weeks I will notch it up to 1.25 4 times a day and so on… lol
= My definition of Baby Steps eh. (feel like ant steps compared to your schedule.. 3, 4, 5, 6 7 miles) lol
A much smarter way to start. When I started running I decided I wanted to go minimalist, so I run in my Vibram Fivefingers, as close to bare-foot as you can get. Well their idea of starting out slow, and my idea of starting out slow were apparently very different. Which is how I hurt my ankle.
I only run once a day. at 4-5 times a day you’ll be running marathons before you know it.
Also I agree that the music we listen to is a HUGE motivator!
Well I must be off. Time to go get dripped on by all that wonderful new snow melting off of peoples cars. After a snow storm is when I truly dislike my job.
If it makes you feel better, the first link worked, but the Like button and a few other things were missing. This one I was able to “Like.” Great time too!
Mr Bean cracks me up every time!!

They look like a bunch of cold duck on ice. Or would that be champagne? 🙂
Jeff Sinon Photography
I love this.
Thank you!
Love it!!!
😀
Really lovely Jeff! I especially like the second one with mallards on the ice.. looks so cool, all those heads together. A big family. 🙂
Thanks Elina. I love the way all those green heads catch the sunlight.
Me too. 🙂
Duckies on ice snuggled up together :D. Fantastic!!!
Thanks! They have to do something to keep warm, though I think personally, I’d fly south.
Adore the ducks! These may be my favorites yet….also, I have some nice Cyan blue and print paper for you…..

The light and colors here are amazing!
Thank you Denise!
The first Duck picture is the best Duck picture I can remember seeing. Really grand!
Thanks Dennis. I’ve always kind of liked it myself, but never really thought of it as being all that special. So again, thanks!
These are really fun, Jeff. Does anyone else think that they look positively smug about something?
Thanks Gary. It’s funny you should say that. I’ve always thought that lone black duck standing among the mallards in the first photo looked like he was a little full of himself. Preening away as I took their picture.

Great header Jeff!
Since it could be any of a number of images, I’m simply going to say Thank You!
Yes after I commented I noticed the car was gone : ) and you are welcome!
Good choice Jeff, and as always, well done!
Thanks Tina. My models were very easy to work with. 😀
Quack!!
#BeautifulCaptures… Again!
Thank you Miss Lou. I’m sure the ducks were very happy that this time I was shooting at them with a camera 😉
What!!?? Noooooo *hand over my eyes*
Oh yes. I used to be an avid bird hunter. And then I found the camera. Sold every firearm I owned to focus (pun totally intended 🙂 ) on photography.
*rollin eyes at that pun*

3 miles.
I’m going to cry now.

Look what I just found!
