Today we saw a dozen police officers having a conversation with a pack of hunters dressed in camoflage with shotguns and rifles on property next to the airport.
Not a good reflection on the local schools ability to teach critical thinking.

Last week, a golden eagle. Today, a Blue Angel. It's Air Show weekend a Miramar (where they filmed Top Gun). I ride a Lake Miramar, which is just a couple of miles away. I got buzzed by F18s, too.
I found myself worried about the young children living in war zones. Those jets really are loud- terrifying- and when they set off the bombs, too, well, I found myself thinking how blessed we are to live here, and wondering what kind if damage beyond the obvious destruction of buildings that our bombs may wreak.

That reminds me of the time I was riding on the bike-path and I saw a bunch of guys parachuting above me. It's surreal to look up and see people floating above you, especially when you're on a bike in the middle of nowhere.Quote:

Two days ago I saw a roadrunner less than a mile from my house... I always think those are funny because people associate them so much with Texas but I hardly ever see any.
Today I saw a road littered with Wooly Bears. So cute!
I also saw a man on a motorcycle with a sidecar. In the side car was a golden retriever with a bandana :D
The infamous Bunny Statue!

Yay!!! The FAMOUS bunny statue!!!
Definitely a local landmark.
Reesha....the Woolie Bears were out in force today on our ride. Alas, I think a few met the wrong side of our wheels. Ewwww....
Today, I saw something I've never seen before....the inside of a wine glass.
Four of us head out to Sugarloaf Mountain, where a winery is located. The tasting room was open, and one of the guys wanted to check it out. "What? Are you serious?" SURE! So, we took a flight! Pretty cool.
Wow - I lived in Montgomery County for 50 years - how did I miss that? Where is it?Quote:

Since May, we have also seen a silver fox, a few bobcats, and the obligatory deer, rabbits, and assortments of snakes.
Today's ride was an organized outdoor sculpture art viewing ride described here: http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=34125
lst photo: part of a group art installation ..several figures crouching.
2nd photo: at a major botanical garden that was featured in ride as a stopover (if you had time.) Wonder if they will keep the topiary for the 2010 Winter Olympics early next year.
3rd photo: one of the featured bands at our cycling ride event at the end. They are a band that includes some Serbian songs. I love the accrodian design.
I was riding along and I saw one squashed in the middle of a road. it was a huge adult one. no picture coz i had no camera. It's so sad, these animals are very endangered, why can't the driver just slow down and let it pass??? They are very slow moving creatures and they are mostly nocturnal, so the accident probably happened at night when traffic was light. I saw it in the late morning.
The road it was on is a very well lit one, so i doubt not seeing it is a valid excuse... :(
an article with some information and a nice picture of a live one.

I treated the wooly bears like an obstacle course ;) I didn't hit a one! (though I can't speak for the boys on my cycling team)Quote:

The other day, I did see a hawk, that swooped down really, really low as I was riding down the hill:eek:. It was a little scary.
That's cuz it's in Howard County! ;)Quote:

It's on Ten Oaks Road in Dayton, MD, not exactly a major thoroughfare. Here it is geotagged on the map:Quote:

Here is a picture from my ride Sat Oct 3, to visit the historic San Xavier Mission. The church still serves the residents of the Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation.
Cows, open road, sunflowers, farmers harvesting fields, herons, tons of cool stuff:

It was a beautiful fall day in central Kentucky. A great day for a ride! Today I saw...
Lots of squirrels - one ran right in front of me and I missed it by only a few inches!
Kids playing outside - somthing I haven't seen much of lately. Kids don't play outside as much as they used to. Schools in my town were closed today which is why I had the day off. Kids were climbing trees, playing in the leaves, riding bikes, etc. It was great to see!
