3 January
first new day of the new year
~
Joe and I took a trip to what we affectionately call the "supermarket of no hope" the other day. It is located in a very colorful section of the city and you just never know what you will get to see there.
As we were walking out a man was coming in through the out door....on a bicycle!
every one scootched over to give him room and continued on as if it was the most normal thing in the world to go zipping through the aisles of the grocery market on a bicyle!

Joe and I both have colds. We spent
New Years Eve and New Years day on the couches watching movies. Actually, it was rather a nice way to ring in the new year.

the birds are using it for shelter from the storm

What a gorgeous piece of photo art. Love that orange line along the edge of the water!
ReplyDeleteholy crow that is a beautiful sky, sorry you weren't tip top for the end of old year- beginning of the new year however it sounds like you had a good time together despite your colds. I will look forward to seeing your walk photos.
ReplyDeleteOh that does sound like a colourful shopping trip:)
ReplyDeleteI do hope you are both felling better very soon. Outside air is exactly what you need it heals. I think the birds would love the downed tree:)
Take care. B
oh that is funny about the guy on a bike in the store! you are right, you never know what you'll see there! hope you both are feeling better and stay warm!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon. J and I have been lucky no colds or sickness .... yet.
ReplyDeleteBe safe in the cold weather. We have an extreme cold front moving in this weekend. It feels like it has been a long winter already.
Lovely photo, gorgeous colors !

Nice weekend,
Sylvia
Amazing sunset image. In regards to your story, I'm wondering how the supermarket staff let someone in with a bicycle? :D

wow, our New Years sound very similar. the hubby & i are both getting over colds. it was a quiet night & i prefer that. gorgeous view. glad you shared with us. ( :
ReplyDeleteWhat a magnificent photo! Stay warm and safe from the blizzard. And recover soon from your cold. Rest and fluids!
ReplyDeleteThis shot is simply glorious! The colors are so vibrant and luscious. We're slated for some fffrrriiigggiiiddd temps this weekend and snow....but not as bad as what you've had. I hope to snap a few snowy shots on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteVisiting from Random 5 Friday.
What a gorgeous sunrise - I love the bands of colors! No fun having colds for New Year's, but at least it kept you home and cozy. I remember those Nor'Easter's from my childhood. Keep cozy - so nice you provided your tree for the birds. xo Karen
ReplyDeletewhew...stay warm...esp if you both already have colds...ha on the bicyclist....keeps it interesting you know....smiles...very beautiful picture, the colors and lines in the ocean as well...
ReplyDeleteWow that is just an amazingly beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the colds but watching the movies and relaxing is a great way to see the New Year in.
Riding a bicycle in a store is a bit weird.
Happy New Year!
Amazing colors! :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures.. and I can just see that man bicycling through the aisles... Have a wonderful new year.
ReplyDeleteYour photography is professional looking. Beautiful. We are covered in snow in Central Ky. also but just a light layer. We are expecting more for sure. Can't tolerate the cold weather like we once did. Happy New Year and get well soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sky to start the new year, to witness that would be bound to fill one full of hope! Stay warm, the cold weather sounds really awful. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI hope all is well. We got 23" in Ipswich. Very high tides. The bonus was a Snow Owl decided to spend the day on our Osprey platform.
ReplyDeleteThis is eye catching colors -- I can see why you took the photo -- spectacular colors...nice shot!

Beautiful sunset & I hope you are both feeling better
ReplyDeleteHonestly, here in Portland, a bicycle in a grocery store wouldn't be all that odd. I've never actually seen one, but it wouldn't surprise me!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your winter wonderland photos if you are able to get out!
this is a beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo. What a shopping trip! It does sound like a fun place. Hope your colds are over with -- no fun anytime of year. Stay warm. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWOW, stunning sky and photo. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeletesorry you haven't been feeling well so you bundled up extra careful if you go out photo shooting. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteA bicycle in a the grocery store, very interesting, and I am sure a sight to see.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shot! Funny guy on bicycle story . . . enjoyed the tidbits you shared of your week. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI live the image of a guy riding his bike into the store and no one paying any particular attention. I believe we have become an apathetic lot.
ReplyDeleteRed sky in the morning sailor take warning, red sky at night sailor delight - a promise of a beautiful day to come.
ReplyDeleteI imagine there will be many blog friends this week with stories about snow and frigid temperatures! You have the right attitude -- go out there and capture some beauty! :)
ReplyDeleteI just can't imagine THAT kind of cold. Beautiful shot and hope your cold is gone-maybe I caught it!
