Icy Grille
My truck bore witness to my week. This morning when I went out, not only was it covered with ice, but the driver side door was also frozen shut.
Thankfully, I have a remote start, so I could warm it up without having to get in. But even that usually reliable electronic savior was grumpy from lack of use. It did start on the second push of the button, but the engine wasn’t exactly “happy” to be roused from its state of torpor.
After thinking for a moment, I realized that I hadn’t driven the Tahoe since Tuesday night when Cameron had soccer practice. I had so many contractors, workmen and deliveries this week that I hadn’t really noticed I’d not left the house in days. The cold may not inspire me to get out and run errands or shop, but it doesn’t prevent me from taking out my camera!

You always surprise me! I love your shot, especially since when I thought of “black ice” I envisioned the slick road ice I have spun in circles on several times–and wondered how you would photograph that! Yours is better!
Thanks, Patti! I’ve also experienced that scary black ice on the road. This ice is much nicer!
Black ice is so scary to drive on..
Totally agree. I had a few spin-outs over the years…this black ice is much safer!
This is such a creative an unexpected image. Thanks for sharing Tricia.
Thank you, Emily! Something different for sure! I do enjoy the macro lens when I get it out.
Cool photo!!! I’ve heard great things about those remote starters! My sister in law had one in Chicago. Comes in handy! We haven’t even seen ice or snow here in Atlanta. Stay warm!
Thanks, Polly! Wish I lived a bit further south as you do; my blood has thinned as I’ve gotten older!
Incredible shot Tricia. Just perfect and telling
Thanks so much, Elliot! I had fun with this one. Looking forward to next week’s Macro Workshop at Blue Ridge Photography!
