Beach Days

hanging out at the beach with Mark!

My New Best Friend??

I asked Mark to get me a recumbent exercise bike for my belated birthday and Christmas present. I did quite a bit of research, and chose the Tunturi F30R. It came this week, and Mark set it up for me yesterday.
The surgeon said this would be about the only exercise I can do. I only rode for about 5 minutes yesterday, my left knee is very sore even to the touch today. I am hoping it is the weather affecting the osteoarthritis and not the teeny bit of exercise I gave it yesterday. I am starting off slow and will gradually build time.
Fingers crossed that the bike and I will get along famously!

Tunturi F30R, my new best friend!

Waves in Ice

We went to the beach yesterday, it was so cold, not at all pleasant on bare fingers taking photos. I loved the wave patterns in the ice on the sandy shore.

Suet Eater

I was lucky enough to get a shot of this woodpecker having lunch at the suet Mark put out for the birds. The birds are very hungry birds in this cold weather we have been having.

I am not sure if it is a downey or a hairy woodpecker.
