Ice Walk
We took a stroll on Danforth Street on Saturday afternoon. After a plate of Irish nachos and something to wash it down at Bull Feeney's, we headed to the Victoria Mansion to view the rooms decked out in all their holiday splendor. As I recall, the last time I was there was as a high school junior on a field trip. When we exited close to 4:30 PM, this slushy sidewalk had began its turn to a treacherous, frozen walkway. Since this image was taken, we've seen a bright sun but with temperatures encased in the 20's not much melting. When walking on this stuff, you need your wits about you or the results might be quite unpleasant.
Pretty scenes can lead to danger.
Slip-sliding away.
Call 911!
Ah, winter! :-)
ReplyDeletei would be the one to fall ;)
ReplyDeleteLiiks like the perfect place to break a leg.
ReplyDeleteMy sister slipped and fell on the ice at her home in Wisconsin several years ago - broke her hip. She's never been the same since. Dangerous, indeed!
ReplyDeleteIrish nachos? That's like saying Mexican Guinness. Explain, please. :)
They are delicious! I do not like lamb, but the nachos are served with a lamb, bean dip concoction that is to die for. mmmmmmmmmmm
DeleteI have to stay away from this stuff. I tend to trip and fall on perfectly dry ground. "Irish nachos"?? A little corned beef perhaps?
ReplyDeleteoh, the ice-walk shuffle. :)
ReplyDeleteYep, we're slippin' and slidin', too . . . yikes!
ReplyDeleteWe are not used to snow and when it rarely comes it is hard for us...
ReplyDeleteI've seen snow several times in different places but never walked on ice and I'd better not try it! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI slipped on really bad icy sidewalks a few years ago and broke my wrist. Let's just say that the air was blue! I wear those strap on cleats now if it is really bad.
ReplyDeleteThat icy stuff totally intimidates me.
ReplyDeleteThis is the part of winter I fear and loathe.
ReplyDeleteI have trouble walking on a regular old sidewalk without tripping, so I probably wouldn't even attempt this one.
ReplyDelete"Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
ReplyDeleteYou know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip sliding away"
Hope you made it to you destination!!
Irish Nachos? That's a new one on me.
ReplyDeleteI'm usually fine on ice, but once slipped and fell on the stairs outside my apartment. I broke ribs.
