Wow, that is beautiful, it is sooo nice to see green!! Here in New Mexico we don't see much. That is a beautiful route though!

Nice pictures! Now I can imagine where you are riding. Those trees look lovely to ride under.

thanks for posting the pics. Hey, maybe we should all post pictures of our 'Hoods.

Not my neighborhood, but it is along a bike path I ride:


Flossie on a bridge along the bike path:


These are pictures from the fall. Maybe I should go for a ride and take some spring pictures... mmmm, bike ride....

Knot, which bike trail?! Am not recognizing it and I am the queen of Avoiding the Streets!!!

Pooks, looks like a beautiful neighborhood! Thank you for sharing

Right about where the Burke Gilman links up with the Sammamish. Kinda Kenmore-ish. The bridge is at Bothell Landing.

Since I can't ride and I am going crazy I am going to post some older photos from one of my favorite picnic rides.







This is an abandoned off-shoot of the very popular bike trail by our house, although it took a beating recently when it was used as a trail detour for a long time. It's not any fun on a road bike because it's not maintained any more, but it's fine on my mixte (sprung saddle, fatter tires). We picnic here by the river a lot.

These photos are more exciting than they look, too, because about five minutes after we took them some kids came up and told us that there was a body in the river right below us. No foul play, just an elderly woman and a very sad story, but we haven't done much picnicking there ever since.

To find trees in the Dallas area you have to be in the older neighborhoods and/or down near creeks. The newer the area, the flatter and smaller the trees. Developers tend to wipe out everything and build. Or else build on farmland that didn't have trees to begin with. I refuse to have a new house for that very reason.

Knotted, you live in some beautiful country!

Xeney, that's a really nice trail and picnic spot. Hopefully you'll be able to replace the bad memories with good ones, but man, that's a rude turn of events.
