It was about 6 degrees that day, or colder, the sun shining through the ice in the trees, the ice thick on the ground and treacherous. I went out for twenty minutes for these photos, racing to keep my hands from going numb, panicking at the last when my hands lost feeling the second I pulled off my gloves, and I couldn't turn the key in my front door, and the keys were so cold they burned.
