A bumblebee is pollinating a raspberry plant. The bee has rather large balls of pollen on its hind legs.

The trail is nice and smooth, but I still think the resurfacing was a waste of millions of dollars. They should have torn up the pavement and turned it into gravel!

Another perfect day for a ride to the big water.

Summer rides at dusk are the best

It’s not far off

Someone sent a message asking how I prop up my bike without something to lean on. I figured I would make a post for anyone curious. First of all… #notsponsored

I use a 5.5” Topgo Invisible Stand from Amazon. The stand also comes with a strap for your front brake.

A flowering field bindweed plant with a hoverfly sitting on the petal. It has pollen on its back, and is potentially stalking a small insect. iPhone photo.

A photo I took of a hoverfly resting on a field bindweed flower. The hoverfly has pollen on its back, and there’s four tiny insects towards the top of the flower (aphids?).
