I is for...

Ice Skates! I'll bet it's been at least 20 years since I last skated. I'm not even sure these would fit me anymore and I'm just as sure I'd probably twist my ankle or worse if I tried skating now.

Today's letter was "I" and since it's December and I live in the Northeast you would think that would be easy: ice, icicles, ice coated, etc. Not quite because it was 42 degrees F today and raining. Welcome to my world :-)

Nicely captured. Neat to see those teeth on the blades.

Nice image. I haven't ice skated in decades. Probably not a good idea to try again now.

Nice.

A very appropriate image for I and for this time of year.

LOL I have a pair hanging in the garage. Bet I haven't put my feet in them in over 20 years.

Never was very good at it myself ;-)

Cool shot! It is that time of year again!

I grew up in Northern Michigan and Hockey was our thing... Very nicely done and it fits the "I" category to a "T" LOL

Cool shot but I'm too cowardly to try ice sking. You can never depend on the weather to do what you want,

Dangerous stuff as you get older! Great close up.

Maaike Huizer		10-Dec-2008 09:30
That's great. i love these. Don't know where mine are. V

I've always wanted to try skating...too afraid of breaking something though. lol

carol j. phipps		10-Dec-2008 04:56
They look well-used.

Cindi Smith		10-Dec-2008 04:22
It's probably been that long for me too....cool idea for I. I'd bet I'd break something so I won't do it....well, maybe when I go to Canada at the end of January! brrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Ice skates...great shot...being in Northern CA I was not expecting to even get a bit of frost...but it has been cold in the 40s...got into the 50s...still too frigging cold for me!

Best to keep them in the attic. I put on rollerblades thinking how hard can this be. Three weeks later I was able to sit down again.

Don't imagine you want me to send you some ice? :-) Good save, this time of year should have supplied all of those mentioned.
