The Worlds Strongest Bike Lock
Image found here. Photo credit: Ethan Welty. I’ve come across images of this bike-in-a-tree (or variations of it) at various locations on the internet and have always found it interesting. Apparently a kid–some years ago–either leaned or locked his bike to this tree and over the years the tree grew around it. Sort of eerie,Continue reading “The Worlds Strongest Bike Lock”

Streetside Beauty
I passed this plant as I was walking down the street a couple days ago. It’s almost at the curb (pavements) and it stopped me in my tracks…incredible how much you see when you walk. Nature–in the city or country–is incredible isn’t it? Click it for a larger view.

Precious Resource
The above photo was taken in my garden after a rain today. We needed it…it has been hot and humid, but mostly dry this summer. Water is such a natural and precious resource…sometimes (most times) I forget this; most times I don’t even think about it. But I should. It’s beautiful–jiggling and shimmering on aContinue reading “Precious Resource”

Color on a Grey Day (just a few pics)
Crazy busy day at work today. The rain drizzled on-and-off outside for most of it. Grey clouds. And after facing a stove for most of the day I felt like I needed some air…and color. I took a brief walk and snapped a few photos and thought I’d share. Click it for an enlarged view.

Nature’s Beauty
When I was getting on my bike yesterday I saw a few flowers that–for lack of better words and while not trying to sound too hokey–stopped me in my tracks. Beautiful. I snapped a few pictures and thought I’d share a couple. (Click them for a larger view.)

After the Rain
The title of this post more accurately should be: in between the rain. It has been raining, more or less, for the past 4 or 5 days; cold, too. Not winter cold, but surely too cold for this time of year. I don’t know what it is but those short glimpses in between rain showers–whenContinue reading “After the Rain”
