Isn’t it great how much more aware we can be of all that’s around us when we’re out scootering?

That’s a straight shot other than a little futzing around with the exposure. I ride my Vespa to these places!

Similar look to my favorite tree in Huntingdon County but this one is on Penn State property. Granted, they have a lot of it.

Is that that tree you shoot annually on the left on the way to Huntingdon? How you got the scooter up there…oh wait a second…you inserted that by photoshop. Paul

No moose around here but we do have Elk. One my list of photos I hope to make someday is a picture of the Vespa with an Elk.

A more reliable indicator of the arrival of spring than that old groundhog…

Well, maybe more than that…

And almost always I am alone when it happens. I wonder if that means something?

Giest: You are exactly right. The big gift of riding.

Believe me I keep my eyes peeled. Just last week I found a $10 bill in an unlikely place.

Alas, it was just a piece of a log that someone probably used to sit on or something.

Thanks for your kind words about the pictures. As always it’s fun to make them.

I only admire then from afar but I have seen enough of them to know they are special. There were times in my past where I dreamed of owning one along with a few hundred acres of land adjoining one of our state forests or gamelands.

Just think, it could have been Steed in the Sticks…

I mean looking around and taking pictures and not just the quick snapshot. It interrupts the ride but I was amazed at how much more I would see both while shooting pictures and during plain old rides.

More urban landscapes seem like visual goldmines to me. I just seldom have the chance to see them.
