Bicycle Day



Isn't today just the most perfect day? Could that question be answered "yes" on any day? Pondering...

Today was perfect because it was an unscheduled day with sunshine and 75 degrees F.

My morning was a jog, a long meditation, and sitting on the deck playing computer games.  After lunch with the family, I got on the bike and went to Snail Lake Park.  The deepest flooded spot is on the South end where there is a pedestrian tunnel under Gramsie Road. The water in the tunnel is almost to the ceiling.  I drew the lines for the first picture while sitting on the bench at the water's edge.  It was too hot on that sunny bench to sit there very long, so I got back on the bike to find a shady bench and did the color there.  After a while I was ready to bike again so the second picture was drawn at a third spot, also a shady bench.  It was good for my soul to spend some time outside, quiet, unrushed, doing something productive for myself.
