cycling scenes

I just had an entire day to myself.

And you know what? 

I had no idea what to do with it.

Maybe I just had too many choices...but I ended up settling with a 50km bike ride.

(Laundry could wait. And still is.)

Tired of the same route, I decided to be adventurous 

(pfft! as much as I dare to be....)

and take a new road.

AND...

I decided to not let my bike pace dictate today.

I wanted  to enjoy the sights.....and  remind myself  why it is  I like it here.

(note: pictures are of not-so-great cell phone camera quality.)

Road stretched out before me.

And although it may look monotonous,

I took part in a Dragonfly Dodge AND 

a Porcupine Pedestrian crossing!

(Kicking myself for not being quicker on the camera draw for a capture of the porcupine. 

Those things can Speed Waddle!)

And remember this post?

{Party!}

Well at the risk of making my area look like "Party Central"....

I found the same truck- moved several miles another direction. 

This time it even sported a flashing light on its top, 

blinking even during the daylight hours.

I captured old Squashed buildings:

And a barn that was for sale:

I also cycled past ditches full of the result of the never-ending rain we have been receiving.

(Sorry southern friends. I WISH I could funnel it down to you!)

It was 51.6 km of a beautiful route which I could have continued on,

if I hadn't heard the call of a cold cider calling my name from home.

(Ahhh...human nature can be so fickle.)

Now...

I believe it's the Laundry calling.
