Great pictures of clouds and still green fields.

I regret having missed this post, but I checked for days and days for nada… Then suddenly, there were two.

There is nothing like fall skies before thew temperatures drop into the 30’s. Some days, the skies appear angry, but they are just one of the best seasons in transition.

Speaking of transition, I am in one of my own, and haven’t been myself lately… Either that, or more of my real self is leaching into the front I present the crowd.

Fondest regards,
Jack/reep

Riding does create a sense of connection to the world. Maybe that’s the poetic part?

I think that is a big part of why I ride in the winter. Something primal almost, a sense of facing something bigger than myself. Not sure exactly but your comment struck a chord of understanding.

Keep riding that Symba!

Your words are pure poetry but I agree, sometimes it just feels nice to “just be” and enjoy life.

It seems the only days I haven’t taken a picture of the sky and clouds were a couple of days of clear deep blue cloudless sky. I never much noticed the sky when I was driving. I’m better at it now, but still not so good. The only other time close to the experience of seeing I have riding my Symba were the hours spent driving a tractor back and forth working in the fields on the farm I grew up. I’m not much for speed or the twisties, but I do love being out in the elements. Yes, I’m old enough that my tractor time was before climate control cabs.

All but one of these pictures were shot during a ride about two weeks ago when the leaves were just thinking of turning.

Today things are radiant in fall colors. That’s for another post!

I’m familiar with the hotel grind when on the road for business.

The trees look like they are still holding onto their leaves or it it my imagination.

Just what I needed this afternoon in a hotel room three hundred miles from home. Thank you.
