Oh I do like someone who has empathy for furniture. Then again, you’re the infamous empty-chair photographer, so I should have known you have that quality in spades. (The tones are actually true colours; not a black and white pic; I was surprised by how it turned out; a very overcast steely grey day, reflected.) Thanks!
Brrr. There’s something forlorn about a summery object captured in winter. The monochrome here makes it feel even colder. I like the way you caught it in a wave with another rushing in — that sense of motion. You have an eye for larger meaning found in the everyday, Carin, in your writing as well as your photography.
I didn’t realize the monochrome quality until I saw the picture. It was actually taken and printed in colour… so that was the extent of them that day. And yes, very brr-cold as I recall. Just a week or so ago in this crazy winter of up and down mercury. Thanks for kind words! (:
It is a stunning photo! I love the monochrome too. And the juxtaposition of the normally cheerful image of a picnic table and the ice. Just beautiful, as well as meaningful on many levels. This picture really tells a story.

Poor, sweet thing: used, then abandoned to the elements! Love the shot, Carin, particularly the tones!

I agree with Carin. Empathy for furniture is a very touching quality.
Kindred spirits! (:
Oh my, that does change one’s notions about a picnic. Great shot!
No need for a cooler. (:
Bizarro cold.
Ha! Yeah, it does have that ‘bizarro world’ vibe, doesn’t it… On a hot summer day it’s the best seat in the house!
That’s true too. It must have been a lovely place to sit back in August.
Each year it sinks a little more. Eventually it’ll become a miniature ice rink.
Wow! cool pic.
Downright chilly! (:
Great shot!
Thanks, Nora!

That picnic table is so out of place! But makes for a cool visual. Thanks for joining us at Wordless Wednesday Bloggers!

Oh, in summer it’s perfectly placed! (:
See you next week!
that’s quite the distinctive find!
A stoic little thing, isn’t it…

Thank you, Elizabeth! I like the way you look at things.
What a cool photo – no pun intended.
