What Do You See When You Ride?

HappyTexasMom, I think that's a dragon boat, and yes, it's pretty cool!

As do many other cities, DC has a Dragon Boat Festival: http://www.dragonboatdc.com/

papaver, next time I'm in Belgium, I'm biking it! Great pics! And I think I have a picture of the "hollow road," from a drive to Namur years ago.

Today I saw a guy mowing his lawn at 5:10am (it was pitch black out). Cracked me up!

Yesterday, I saw the Monocacy Aquaduct:



And lots of turtle, including this one:



And water and trees, lots and lots of trees:



I also saw Great Blue Herons, one Great Egret, numerous Green Herons, a goldfinch, lots of cardinals and even more grackles (impressive numbers of them, all together, flying off along the canal as I approached), Canada Geese, horse poop, innumerable gnats, biting flies and mosquitoes, and spiders, including two which decided to hitchhike on ME! (I HATE spiders!)

I heard a lot of different birds, too, including wood thrushes and peewees, and just the tail end of a veery song.

Some of the smells along the trail were wonderful; at one particular spot, there was a very sweet scent in the air. I do not know what it came from, despite looking around for its source. Not something I've smelled before.

DH keeps thinking that this is a good idea. I keep telling him that if neighbors don't, I will kill him if I'm waked by a lawn mower at that hour of the morning!

(once, he wanted to use the snowblower at 4 a.m. -- again, a really BAD idea!)
