Really fast trying to get up a hill and then all of a sudden I wasn’t! I am 70 years old but I still try to get out and ride my bike as often as I can. Fortunately around my town they have a lot of paths that are off-road so I don’t have to compete with traffic. Unfortunately, as I was completing my bike ride, I drove through a local university campus. For some reason they had a couple of large cones or pylons and rope between them blocking off a crosswalk. It was too late for me to see the rope and I barely had time to hit my brakes.

I spent most of Sunday at the emergency room shortly thereafter. After a bunch of x-rays and CT scans no real damage but I’m not going to be moving my shoulder anytime soon.

I guess they never heard of caution tape!

Yes, for those interested in safety, I was wearing my helmet and safety gear. I think it could have been a lot worse had I not had years of martial arts training. They teach you how to hit the ground and how to roll without getting hurt. It could have been a lot worse for a 70-year-old man!

Just a few pictures I took recently. The weather has been great and the sunsets are icing on the cake!

Spring blooms.

I posted a few pictures as Spring started to burst out from Winter’s hold a few weeks ago. I am glad that even though we did have three or four nights where it went below freezing during the nights, that most of the flowering trees and blooms survived. Usually we get a late freeze and it wipes out most of the early bloomers.

Here are a few pictures from my local city park I have featured before many times. These pictures are untreated or processed. This is how you would see the park if you took a walk there today or tomorrow. Enjoy>
