... to my Arizona blogging friends
After a thoroughly miserable weekend — in terms of weather, at least — it turned warm and sunny today. A combination of the Arizona trip and the weather has reduced our cycling dramtically lately. In fact, it's been more than a month since we last hit the saddles, and we are approximately 450 km behind last year's efforts.
Whatever! it was almost 70°F today, and we couldn't resist. Whilst I was still working on computer things this morning, Cuppa informed me that she had packed a lunch and was ready to ride. So, that's what we did, and the pictures show the view where we ate, at a dam by the Mississippi, about seven km downstream of here.
As I contemplated our surroundings, I thought that I would like to share some of our local scenery with all of you but especially my Arizona friends. I so appreciated your landscapes, and I hope that you like seeing our abundant water and trees and greenery.
I believe that Cuppa is in the throws of posting a few more pics on Brown Betty Brew.

That is actually a little painful to the eyes. I noticed last time I was in Minnesota, the endless green and bright blues were just a little too much for me to take in until I could get adjusted to it (which I did, the day we left again).
Thanks for the image(s), I’ll keep looking at them when I get too hot (which will be until Nov.)
I'll think of it next time I am lounging in a swimming pool.
You have so many shades of green. Almost puts to shame all of our shades of brown.
Beautiful photos as always!
They sure are. I enjoyed the brief time I lived in AZ.
Beautiful! And I love the one of the water flowing over the dams. The weather in Minnesota is so weird; we're going from 50 degrees a couple days ago (it's spring now, mind you), to 80 this Friday, and in the 90's over Memorial Weekend. But the lush greens and blues--that's us. And new life abounding.
Do you and Cuppa ride English or Western? Do you have your own horses? I swear, I've gotta get into the saddle again! What a way to enjoy life.
Even a mediocre lunch would taste great with scenery like that as a backdrop - so a really good one would send a person over the top. ec
Lovely!! I LOVE green and blue!! And to think that is the Mississippi!! Sure a prettier site than the one we crossed when coming east...somewhere in Illinois I think...
Nice pics! Happy biking! It's been fairly humid around here this week, so I'm a drippy sweaty biker this morning.
Isn't the variety of our Earth so wondrous and fascinating?
