Ride #9: Not a Slog

Five days after the slog cycle and with the weather cooler, we had a much better ride. We even went a bit farther than ever before – 7.7k. We're still well short of 10k, but it still 0.8k farther than our previous best. We are still having great trouble getting video to download, but Sue captured a few snaps from a time lapse, featuring ..  . tada! . . . moi.



Oh! I do have one more photo from my echinacea shoot the other morning. I didn't like it at first, but it has since grown on me. It's subtle in both light and colour, and for sure won't knock your socks off.

Oh again! I also blended an echinacea photo from an earlier shoot with one of my fireworks photos from Canada Day.

  5. I love that 2nd shot by Sue. It looks like an Impressionist painting. The red contrasts well with the green. Beautiful.

  10. The combined image of flower and fireworks was very clever and surprising and enjoyable! I also like the look of your bike trail. It seems quite pleasant.

    Thank you for the comment about the RCC. I am thinking about writing some in a post (in the next few days) about the indigenous boarding schools.

  12. Biking is good, even if you cannot pull off the picture part.
