Just a few shots that I captured over the last week, in the moments between doing the work that helps keep the lights on. <\/p>\n

Walking the grounds, I enjoyed discovering the blooms on this little guy. But the tree refuses to stay in focus. But I almost got close once. <\/p>\n

I wonder what this farmer is spreading here. Surely not nitrogen, that field is green a-plenty.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

This will be a field full of delicious … something … let’s say strawberries … eventually. I’ll go back by there when the covers are off and try to figure out what they’ve planted.<\/p>\n

I bet you never wondered if grazing cattle eat with any more urgency when they notice the sun is going down. I bet you’ll wonder about that now. <\/p>\n

I recently got a new helmet. (I was due a new helmet!) And so my mother offered to get one for my birthday. (Wasn’t that nice of her?) This is one of the higher rated models according to the famous Virginia Tech lab that does these things, and, it’s a handsome looking piece of head wear.<\/p>\n

Aero though it may be, it still doesn’t make me faster than my lovely bride. At least it didn’t on this ride. Have you ever been well and truly dropped right after taking a photograph. I have. (Again.)<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

(Notice her helmet has the name on it. Wear your helmets, kids, no matter if they are fashionable or branded.)<\/p>\n

Maybe I’ll be faster on our next ride together.<\/p>\n

Speaking of fashion, my Easter look. <\/p>\n
