Weekend sunshine

Morning temperatures clearly let me know that the season is changing, and that summer has slipped away from us. The changing colors manage to cement that knowledge.

It was a good weekend for riding, although I'm finding that I seem to have an end-of-riding-season boredom with the roads near home. Actually, I think it's a combination of that and an underlying desire to continue wandering new roads and exploring as I did during my recently completed vacation. I'm adjusting though, and I definitely took advantage of our sunny and warming days to comfortably wander on two wheels. The temperatures have been dropping quite low overnight (as in to the high 30s and low 40s!) so I have been waiting until after noon to head out on my bike. Call me a baby if you will, but I prefer to ride in warmer temperatures while I can.

Here's hoping that some semblance of warmth continues to grace our days for a while...

Ah, captured color!

A beautiful view in any season, shimmering water in sunshine

I find it amazing (or maybe I should say surprising) that it is very difficult to capture the colors that my eyes see - but this photo should give you an idea of the emerging colors.
