Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#406)

A cardboard box containing ingredients for this recipe, plus a few other items. Urban Simplicity.

The View from My Handlebars, Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#405)…and a brief comment

I had a crazy day at work today (I’ve been saying this a lot lately)…rushing around for most of the morning and afternoon, and then just before the workday was done a planning committee informed me of everything they have not liked for the past yearly quarter…which was pretty much everything. Needless to say, betweenContinue reading “The View from My Handlebars, Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#405)…and a brief comment”

A Few Views from My Handlebars

It has been magnificently autumnal these past few days. Crisp and chilly air, and great weather to ride a bike in (you don’t sweat). Anyhow these photos were taken yesterday and today; all while I was out doing errands. They were also taken with my little $99 point-and-shoot camera which fits so nicely in myContinue reading “A Few Views from My Handlebars”

Sept Jours…

A couple things… Firstly, this photo was taken during a heavy rain…the beginnings of Sandy, no doubt.  It’s a burning bush and looks beautiful–I think–glistening and dripping in the rain. What’s interesting–I also think–is that if you zoom in on the droplet you can see a reflection of me taking the photo. Hmmm… Anyhow–and anotherContinue reading “Sept Jours…”

Rain…photos and comments (about riding in it)

I took these photos just out my front door as I left for work today…droplets and small pools of rain rolling off two Brussels sprout plants in my front yard. It was raining pretty hard and it has rained all day; according to the weather forecast it is supposed to rain for the next fourContinue reading “Rain…photos and comments (about riding in it)”

(another) View from my handlebars…

Dusk and dawn…my two favorite times of the day. It was unseasonably warm today…79F/26C…and it was such a lovely night to be on a bicycle and use it as transportation. This photo was taken about 6:30pm looking east. To see other views, click here. Urban Simplicity.

Big Sky…a vew from my handlebars

I was at the corner of Delaware and Summer Street this evening when I stopped my bike to take this photo. I was on my way to the health club and was so taken by the seen before me I pulled over to the side of the road and snapped a couple pictures (and toContinue reading “Big Sky…a vew from my handlebars”

Eight Days Separated by Two

So this is pretty cool (I think). Above is a series of four photos I spliced together which were taken over an eight day period every two days…a row of tomatoes, which I picked when I tore up my front garden, sitting on a kitchen sill ripening. Urban Simplicity.

Photos from Moving Windows…

I was in NYC yesterday for just 24 hrs. Took a plane in and a train out. Hence these photos. I took a 5:45am flight (geeze that is early for someone who is not particularly a morning person) and that’s an image above from the plane window. Awesome isn’t it. The sun coming up overContinue reading “Photos from Moving Windows…”

Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#398 & #399) and a couple comments

#398 (above)…six pans of food (wild rice pilaf, haricots verts, and haddock roasted with tomatoes, herbs, and white wine) on it’s way to a local food pantry. #399 (below)…a canvas bag full of wet gym clothes, 3L of red wine, and two cardboard boxes containing $64.37 worth of groceries. A brief comment…it was a slowContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#398 & #399) and a couple comments”

Fall Colors and a Few Comments…

These two photos have nothing in relation to one another other than they represent fall colors (I think). And it’s interesting how the last of the harvest season–before everything turns grey for the winter–is such a burst of color. It’s as if the Universe is saying, “Here you go…have one last blast of color beforeContinue reading “Fall Colors and a Few Comments…”

Washington Square Park in the Rain

I was in NYC over the weekend when I shot these photos. I was walking back to my room after having a couple beers at the Back Fence. It was raining and I cut through the park…sometimes it feels so good to walk in the rain. Walking through places like this gives me such aContinue reading “Washington Square Park in the Rain”

A View from My Handlebars…Crazy Swirly Sky (three photos)

If you’ve been to this blog before then you know that I enjoy taking photos of the sky. And lately there have been many opportunities…there have been the craziest swirly cloud formations. I took the first two photos on my way home this evening, and then about twenty minutes later–as I left the house toContinue reading “A View from My Handlebars…Crazy Swirly Sky (three photos)”

"Tis the Season…

Yes, whether we like it or not, it is that time of year again. The weather is getting colder. And with it lighter foods give way to heartier ones, and one of my favorites is soup. I’ve posted this recipe before, or at least variations of it, but it is so delicious and easy toContinue reading “"Tis the Season…”

L’automne … six photos

I was going to try and write something profound here…something to the effect of how amazing Mother Nature is and the incredible beauty that surrounds us always–that all we need to do is open our eyes to it–but I don’t need to, or at least I can’t put this natural beauty into words. These images–andContinue reading “L’automne … six photos”
