Sights from my Bike Ride

It was overcast and cold this morning.  By noon it was up to 42 F so I decided I would go at 1:00, hoping it would gain a few degrees by then.  Happily, the sun came out and burned off the clouds.  By the time I left it was starting to get nicer and it eventually warmed up, so it was a pleasant ride.  I told PD that I probably wouldn't go far but it ended up being 27 miles.  I get carried away. ;-)

Lots of sights today so I had to make two collages.  I actually had a few more I could have added.  My middle one on the main blip is a huge Great Dane, but not as huge as he looks with the forced perspective. ;-)  The bottom right isn't the best shot but I'm pretty sure it's a Golden Eagle.  It made the hawk that was flying nearby look small.  In my extra, the top middle shot was interesting.  Remember, it wasn't warm out.  As I was riding down the path, I saw this man standing on a rock taking off his clothes.  He stripped down to his underwear, as you can see, and then jumped into the water which must have been frigid.  He stayed in for a few minutes and then got out and started doing Tai Chi (?).  By this time I had stopped to watch and photograph.  I got lots of good shots.  In the middle and on the corners of the collage are sculptures in Niwot, a small town that I rode through.  The small images really don't do them justice.

I am grateful that we are still able to be outside and going for a ride made it seem more like a normal day.  While I was out, Piper and her dad went on a long walk and they agree.  :-)
 
I have added the tag KUS, suggested by Sue Middleton, "I’m suggesting a tag of #KUS if you’ve got a picture or an idea to keep us all going."
