Riding in the 'Hood

[Kano]

I thought this was a fun thread, Pooks, and that when I was out by myself, I'd stop and take pix today. DH doesn't have much patience for that!

The first one is standing on the bridge he claims is the start point of "my" hill. I figure, it's MY hill, and I should be deciding where the start point is -- it's REALLY where you see that school bus in the distance!

The second one is the bird I saw when I got to the top. I was hoping for some raptors, since the climb is up to the World Center for Birds of Prey. It's a Grouse. Disappointing, huh? The closest thing I saw to a bird of prey today was a military helicopter. (link to the center: http://www.peregrinefund.org/world_center.asp )

Next comes looking off the left hand side of the road -- as I'm about to head back down, and then looking off the right hand side. DH would be so proud of me, stopping to take pictures right by that "no stopping" sign!

And the last picture -- my husband's favorite: you going to collect pictures of these now? want to go up Bogus Basin Road to take a picture of that one? He calls them "cattle grates" and yes, that's REALLY what it is. My new name for them? "Butt Ups!"

Now if I only knew how you ladies space the pictures in between the descriptives!
