Sixty Degrees on Feb 28th. Guess where I was?
For at least a few hours, I was able to ride, to breathe, to smile, and to soothe my spirit,
Then I parked the bike and wandered along the train tracks,
visited an old historic school building,
and had a little fun shooting some interesting architecture.
After a quick stop at the local Pizza House, which I’ve written about before, it was time to head home for the day.
Hope you were able to spend some time this weekend doing something that brings you joy.
Life on the Bike and other Fab Things 
What a great ride and I see that whif of Spring in the air in your photos. I had a lovely walk in warm sunshine with my son who just arrived for a visit from cold Canada. Happy, happy. xo Johanna
Oh how fun that your son is visiting! Enjoy every moment!
Awesome shots Laurie and I really love the second image 🙂
I’m so glad you like the second image, Joe. I did too, but I wasn’t sure about the composition.
I love this fresh look at some familiar old sights. I always enjoy your perspective.
Thanks, Trina!
Excellent ride-out – lucky you. Did the same myself this morning in temperatures just above freezing. It gets so you have to, regardless of the weather 🙂
Brrrr …. the coldest I’ve ridden in this year is 40 degree F.
So you ride, too?
Wonderful!
I do – obsessed but only in reasonable weather.

Temperatures in the 60’s. Ah, you certainly are the lucky one. My money is also on the second image. Great perspective.
Thanks so much for commenting and I’m glad you liked the second one. I just told Joe that I wasn’t sure …
Tried to visit your site, but wasn’t about to.
I love connecting with other bikers!
The curve of the tracks is delicious – makes me feel the movement and speed of the train…… [Is delicious the correct adverb I wonder?] It was rather chilly here last night – the first dipping of the warmth………. It’s a’coming 🙂
It’s a coming, eh? spring for us, cooler temps for you. I know you’ve enjoyed your outdoor time, but your winter time should be comfy too because of the work you’ve done on the house.
And yes, delicious is a perfect word!
Great to hear you were also able to get out this weekend.
Did you get to ride, too?
Feel so good!!
I did! I did! I broke the 400km mark on my bike.
Sounds like a great day. I like the views through the windows.
Those arched window openings lead to a neat little grassy courtyard. It used to be the home to various pieces of art, but when I wandered back there, I saw that they had been removed. It’s a neat place for sure
Great shots
Thanks Derrick. I’ve been meaning to get over to your place to see what you and Jackie have been up to. Hopefully, I can do some visiting after work today
Our, pleasure, Laurie
Happy is the biker in spring 🙂
yes indeed!!
Ride, breathe, shoot.
I sure could use a bit of that today, Jim. Maybe tomorrow …
Looks like a great sunshine day out for you all Laurie, thanks for the ride!
Glad to have been out on the bike, and to have had you along, Patti
The 2nd photo at the rail level is gorgeous.
Many more of these kinds of days ahead with spring just around the corner now 🙂
What beautiful images….the light is lovely after such a gloomy winter💕😊
Thank you, and yes! as much as I am an “embrace all seasons kind of gal”, I’m ready for some brighter light
You do know how to seize the day, Laurie!
Thank you for saying that, Kerry. I confess to feeling that I’ve been doing that a little less lately. Grateful to read your comment
I could look at your photos all day. I remember when your blog was mostly about the bike and the photos were a little extra. You sure have come a long way with the camera.
Gorgeous!
Mary, your comment raises a mixture of emotions for me. I’m proud that you feel my photography has improved; I feel oh so much gratitude that we’ve been friends for such a long time, and I worry that I’ve not had the time to ride and do more travel journaling. Some day I’ll get back to that. I need to!
Looks like a wonderful day out.
Warm weather, a ride and time with your camera. Sounds wonderful for you, Laurie. Those arches are so distinct that they actually seem to be frames on a wall showing off a photo of greenery. Fascinating.
I’m trying to catch up and it’s interesting. 60 degrees in February and snow in April. What’s next? Great shots of the architecture and the train tracks.
