The First Glimpse
This was my first glimpse of the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. After a chilly, 4 hour ride, I was so excited to be getting close, I just had to pull over alongside the highway and stare.
This is also my first real glimpse of the photos from that fateful ride. I look forward to the weekend and an opportunity to spend more time reviewing and editing the images.
After the weekend: my first oral surgery!!
Photography: From the Bed
Since I can’t get outside, and I definitely can’t get on the bike (it was declared totaled …sadness!), I’ve been shooting from the bed. I’ve received so many beautiful flowers and they’ve brightened up the room and my spirits!
Thanks for all the lovely messages of encouragement and support. Now that I am able to use the camera and the computer at intervals, I am anxious to visit your blogs!
You’ll be seeing my comments on your posts – SOON!!
I’ve Fallen And I WILL Get Up
The last you heard from me I was heading off to Great Smoky Mountain National Park. I did indeed have a wonderful ride over the mountain and through the park (more on that with photos later). That evening, I enjoyed dinner with Gary and Delores in Weaverville, a small town outside of Asheville.
On Saturday, after meeting Donna and friends for lunch in yet another small town in North Carolina, I headed out to Boone to visit my friends Christine and Bill.
Unfortunately, I had a “slight mishap”, just one mile from Christine’s home while going through an intersection.
Trip aborted and I am home recovering.
I consider myself incredibly lucky. While I suffered injuries, I am fortunate that they are not more severe.
I have missed reading your posts (and I miss you!) and look forward to catching up with you in a few weeks.
(Thanks go to my friend Amy for typing for me!)
And … She’s Off!
Requesting positive thoughts for good weather, beautiful views, safe rides, and fun times with friends! I’ll glady return the favor!!
Great Smoky Mountains, here I come!!
Fall Back to Summer
I love that the colors of summer still shine brightly against the beauty of the changing leaves.
As Alys counts down to Halloween, I count down to this weekend’s ride!
Three Days!!
Stripes
Each day for the past week I have driven by this field and been distracted by the colors and the stripes.
Bike Trip in Five Days!
Road Map
While sitting around the fire on a perfect Friday evening, enjoying alittle of the local flavor in a bottle (I thought you of you, Joe), I caught these photos. I though of Earthstills, too (Hello Weekend!).
I know there isn’t a photo of a lovely beverage, but I sure was enjoying one!
Bike Trip in Seven Days!
Not Colorado
Yep, as I was riding along in the setting sun. Red Rock. In Southwest Virginia.
Blowing in the Wind
After riding 125 miles, much of it along the Blue Ridge Parkway, you might expect me to post photos of the changing fall leaves.
While I did see many beautiful sites as I followed along behind my friend Dave, we didn’t stop for photos because we had a destination in mind.
Raps is a full service 1950’s / 60’s Renaissance Store and Ice Cream Shop adjacent to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Raps also has a restaurant / bar and grill and features live music on the weekends.
The beer was cold, the music was classic rock, and several in the crowd were dancing. What really attracted my eye though, were the bright flags flapping in the wind against the brilliant blue sky.
You must be thinking: “really, LB, a post about flags? The kind that can easily be found flying at any car dealership”. What can I say? They made me happy!
Eleven days ’til the Fall Bike Trip!! Now THAT really makes me happy!
