Oh Man, I sure can relate to that feeling–at my age, at this date, in this everlasting winter….
I’m really impressed when you or I or anyone forces oneself to get up and get going, and you’re right, none of us usually regrets it in the long run.

Ditto what a lot of people have said about the shot of Essa.

That photo makes me miss shooting and developing my own film.

Good to hear that it was a inhibitory moment of thought and not really a deep physical reflection. I still find myself wanting to go out ride and take pictures. Logging a 35mm around my neck sometimes can be a bit daunting but I do so. By the wired looks of other drivers I often wonder what going through their minds on the picture. 🙂

Thinking of the immediate “tasks” is like riding and looking two feet ahead of the front tire. Simply pull your eyes up and look farther ahead. Amazing how the picture changes!

matt: Thanks Matt. Essa is a fine subject in soft light and as she gets older she holds still longer for a picture.

pvino: I always have to be careful to differentiate breaks from my tendency to avoid things. I can tell I don’t need a break at the moment because the resistance has passed quickly, usually a sign that I didn’t need a break.

I’ve been getting my riding fire back. It’s still dark out but by the time I finish breakfast and take the dog out it will be light. Temperature is 21 degrees right now and that doesn’t seem to bother me so something is kicking in!

conchscooter: You bring up an interesting point about things being fun. Rather than elaborate here I think you’ve triggered a post of its own. I’ll see about getting that ready for later in the week. Thanks for the idea!

snark: Thanks!

Nice picture of the dog. I envy your “eye”.

I think sometimes one tends to lose sight of the goal. Riding the Vespa and publishing pictures is supposed to be fun. If it isn’t fun I’m not sure what the compulsion should be. Self flagellation?

Steve,

Maybe a break will rejuvenate your desire to scooter and take those fantastic pictures. A break would be a good thing. Unfortunately you u do not have an understudy to assist in this effort. I do find myself unable to put on the gear and go out for a ride..seems to find myself at the slowest ever on riding, I have been off my scooter for over month but I do go into my garage to start her up and relish the thought.

Steve, the picture of Essa is particularly fine. The trees in the background provide a nice balance to the frame.
