Of course the year is old now, you are quite right, but somehow I always see things in cycles (no pun intended); the seasons, which follow on from each other in a constant circle, are merely punctuated by our calendar months.<br /><br />At this time of year each cycle ride is indeed a gift. I set off on Sunday morning cheerfully with my son on our bicycles after three cycle-free weeks but our ride unfortunately did not last more than fifty minutes. The mist, which I had foolishly found quite romantic, turned out to be freezing fog. Even the beauty of the hundreds of cobwebs in the vines could not turn our minds away from our freezing fingers.<br /><br />We may try again next Sunday but this time with gloves, hats, and scarves. <br /><br />Stephaniemillefeuilleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608950213999238191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-33783929677982856872012-11-12T16:14:46.639-06:002012-11-12T16:14:46.639-06:00Ok, to sound like someone with no original ideas, ...Ok, to sound like someone with no original ideas, that lotus picture is amazing, the balance in it is perfect....another lovely cycle trip. We live on salt marshes and I love the browns of the reed beds and grass against the blue of the water. A couple of nights ago a whole flock (I know there is another collective) of starlings rooster there for the night, they were noisy I can tell you, still whittering away when I put the dog out at 11- ish. I did get some film of them that I hoped to upload to my blog if I can figure out how!*https://www.blogger.com/profile/10821840185143701654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-46895999079091346502012-11-12T12:30:25.644-06:002012-11-12T12:30:25.644-06:00This might be my most favorite rides.
