Skating in the park

Portland has been so cold recently that the pond at Laurelhurst Park has frozen solid. Since moving to Portland my friend Meredith has dreamed of skating there. This morning she was able to. Sam and I went along to watch. I had some trepidation in walking on the ice but after watching Meredith jump a few times on it I thought I'd risk it. Even Sam got out there! And yes that is him whining on the first video :)

please do not delete these from the web scapbook. the sound of ice being etched and sea gulls (a dog?) singing are beautiful. a very young woman (age 11) who did the first axel in her globally warming
environment still skates, and her mother cheers.
