Went out on a bicycle yesterday
The frame is too small for me, but it was still good fun. Tight u-turns added excitement as the rearmost part of the front tire would stop against my sneaker unless I had the pedal and crank in the exact right position. I made a few u-turns. I wanted to get a shot of this sign, then at another time to backtrack to get to better blackberries; others to get a view of this or that flora or fauna. It was a beautiful North Bay day. There were lots of families and kids out in the county park, and a variety if riders including all the spandex speed demons (and casual folk fronting in spandex) in the state park.
Annadel.
Had to double back for these.
And finally, the mighty Quercus. Oaks are where it's at in this part of California. They look almost nothing like the oaks I grew up with in the Northeast, which are straight and tall. Here, it's the redwoods that command praise as untouchable in the status of straight and tall. This park is home to many oaks and redwoods, though not the largest redwoods in the state.
