WEEK 3 FEBRUARY RIDE PHOTOS

Only 2 rides in week #3 of of this month. Now we step into March with rain in the forecast for this last week ?. At least there is one thing I can count on — the forecast is often wrong ?.

I love passing by this spot on my rides — the pond, the wood fence, this mossy tree.
Are they helping each other up the tree, or are they “using” each other to get there first I wonder.

Not much more than this on my blog, but there is a little more said.

    Great photos! Love the teddy bears! Hope you don’t get the predicted rain.

      Thanks Rocky. I try to notice interesting photo ops and this one “jumped” out at me ;’-).

    At least we were above freezing today. I’ll choose green grass over white snow any day. You always find interesting things.

      It continues above freezing, snow is gone and rain for two day snow. With luck I might get in a Cindy ride today or at least a solo ride ;’-). The bears are in Cindy’s neighborhood. She has not noticed them and says the same thing that you say about me always finding interesting things. I am always looking ;’-).

    Enjoyable photos there, Nancy. I noticed in the blog you used the word “scamander” which is a word I’d never seen before. In the context of your post it looks to mean “a wandering bike ride,” but when I looked it up the only thing I could find was that Scamander was some kind of Greek River God. Did you just make up a new word?

    P.S. While I was looking at your blog, I went back in the archives to do a little exploring. I really enjoyed your words and pictures from your 2012 cycling trip in the Canyonlands/Arches area. I love those national parks.

      Thanks for Greg. I subscribe to A Word A Day and every once in a while one comes up that I like and use. Scamander was one of them. Funny story is that I sent this word to another word lover friend who responded that before she read the definition she thought it was a title for our then president ;’’-). Now whenever I use the word I think of that and smile.

    Ok, Im out of hibernation 😉
    Happy that you are able to get some rides in. Cold, snowy/icy roads, and wind have been very limiting here.
    Ditto what Laura said, — 50’s here today, so did get some cycling in, first time in a long time.
    I too like the mossy tree and the bears, and the travel trailer looks pretty nice too.

      Good to “see” you Rich. I hope you have better weather on the way for at least a few days to get outdoors. We have our rain, but can often get in a ride or walk at “slack” weather in the day ;’-).
