A View from my Handlebars

This was a view from my handlebars on my way to work this morning; I was at a traffic signal at this corner. There’s a lot going on in this picture. There were a group of guys doing something where they had to take up the sidewalk (pavements to my friends in the EU). I’mContinue reading “A View from my Handlebars”

Red Red

It’s been raining, sleeting, and hailing for most of the day today. Maybe that’s why these flowers caught my eye…their bright colors in the midst of a drab and grey day. Beautiful aren’t they.

A quick comment…I had mentioned yesterday regarding the wacky weather and how it was supposed to warm up today, well it did…and did it ever. IContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#406)…and a quick comment”

Impression of Spring

Though this may vaguely resemble an impressionistic painting it’s not…just a blurry photo off my front porch earlier this evening. Yes, it may be closer to May than it is to March but we still had a heavy snow squall today. I know it is officially spring but it certainly doesn’t feel like it…as IContinue reading “Impression of Spring”
