Spokes in the Snow

Last week I drove around Parma in the snow for about 20 minutes looking for a bicycle to photograph. I thought it'd be fun to document the life of a bike in the Cleveland winter.

I had no luck that day.

However, Sunday we had gone to eat breakfast at Lucky's in Tremont and this spunky little thing was parked outside. Of course I didn't have my camera on me at the time.

Yesterday after work I took my chances and drove back to see if it was still there. It had looked like the snow was banked on it pretty good on Sunday - I figured I might get lucky. And, I did!!

I love bikes. I love blueish-greeny teal bikes even more. I'm really happy I drove back.

Here are some of the shots in a collage.

Ha ha ha. I did the same thing with a couch earlier this week. It was like the perfect picture, all propped up sideways against a telephone pole in the snow, but I saw it early in the morning before there was enough light to get a good picture. So then I went back the next day, and it was still there, but there was all this garbage set out in front of it, ruining the photo. I hate that.

Btw: we must've just missed each other on Sunday, 'cause I was up there with my bro & mom.

Friday Shootouts - Power (Zest for Life)

I took power to mean "zest for life". And this is where I get mine. Hanging out with people that know what it means to be alive and have fun. Drinking tea, receiving inspirational quotes, and photography. Reading as much as I possibly can. And good old sunshine when we are blessed enough to see it!

Friday Shootout - Outdoor Food

Outdoor Happy Hour at one of Cleveland's treasures - The Great Lakes Brewing Company. We made it up there for Christmas in July to sample the Year's First public Christmas Ale on tap. It's dark, delicious and in this season 8% alcohol by content - or so that's what we were told anyways. Needless to say by the middle of my third I was feeling pretty "good". Enjoy a night of eating outdoors with me in Cleveland.

I'm struggling with body image/feeling at the moment. I just don't feel fit. So, besides being committed to working out again, I'm also replacing my chair at work with an exercise ball. I got it yesterday and in general I think it's much more comfortable than sitting on a chair. I don't really feel like I'm working my core or anything sitting on it...but I do I have it here if I all of a sudden get motivated to start doing crunches. We'll see about that. Look here for some of the benefits of sitting on an exercise ball instead of a chair at work: http://www.gearfire.net/10-reasons-to-use-an-exercise-ball-as-your-chair/ I wanted to go to the gym this morning before work and in a moment of frustration I decided not to go. I'm regretting the decision. I needed to do that for myself and I let myself get shut down. I think that part of what is going on with me is that I've stopped eating meat and have probably replaced too much of my meal with carbohyd...
