Today's Verse The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn... |

I remember skating on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa when I was young - I loved school trips!
Growing up in the suburbs of Montreal, they used to flood the fields in the parks to make outdoor rinks - the city would put up boards so the kids could play hockey (or so those not so steady on their skates could hold on!) and I remember sitting in the little park shack tying my laces, itching to get out there!
Thank you for bringing back such wonderful memories for me!

Unfortunately San Francisco doesn't freeze like that. I think it would be so much fun to do. Nice picture Pat.
I was never allowed skates when I was a child...not even roller skates...to this day I feel I missed out on something......
I have only tried to ice skate on indoor arenas and am hopeless. Where I grew up it rarely dropped below freezing so this was not something I grew up with.
I did roller skate though, does that count LOL
Nice shot Pat, has a great atmosphere to it.

Love the photo Pat! I have never really skated...and these days skates would be a big no no for me lol :o)
This is something to see!! I've only skated once on an indoor rink and I fell over and cracked my elbow!!
Kate and Sian both took to skating very naturally - they both have good balence and no fear. i love to watch skaters and wish I could do it.

Is it just me that has a panic attack seeing the kids playing hockey AND open water in the same picture?
Nice shots/blog by the way :)
Thanks for stopping by mine.
