Cows and Airplanes

June 5, 2016 by Alan Leave a Comment

It could be I am such a simple man that pretty un-amazing things excite me, but as I was leaving breakfast at McDonald’s in Bennett, I really found this low-flying crop duster a lot of fun to watch (although I didn’t know it was a crop duster when I took the video):

Mom and the munchkin headed home in her car, and then I climbed on my bicycle for the eight miles back ride. Along the way I decided this might be a good way to spend the rest of Sunday:

Cows resting in a field

Mickey-Ds and Two Wheels

June 2, 2016 by Alan Leave a Comment

I felt like climbing on my bicycle…and I was going to have to cook for myself ’cause mom and munchkin were going to be gone for a bit…

And I like excuses to eat out…especially if I can reduce the diet-guilt factor through exercise. So…guess what is about 8 miles from where we live in Stradburg…

Me in front of McDonald's
Now, being a simple man, I see McDonald’s as being an awesome target for a ride (and a great reward for arriving). However, a few pictures will show that the ride itself is also a reward.

This was just as I came to the top of the worst incline on the way to Bennett:

Sun in sky looking west
It wasn’t that dark…but I like the effect of the lower exposure.

On the way back I saw someone who was very curious about the strange being on two wheels:

Deer in woods
However the deer’s location wasn’t surprising given this being so close:

Creek
After snapping pictures of that fellow (gal?) and the creek, I climbed back on my bicycle…and then only stopped to snap a picture of one of my favorite views heading east on 36:

Looking at Strasburg at the top of a knoll
Why do I love that view? Because it’s when you can first see Strasburg.

When you can first see home.

Of course, late in the day as it was, the prettiest views are the other direction:

Sundown
And with that last picture I wish you and yours a goodnight…mom and munchkin should be home soon. 🙂
