Early Sunday

My watch said 7:15 but my body said 6:15. The temp gauge said 33 (F) and my body was in full agreement. There were no clouds but fog was in the valley.

And when I got down off the mountain it was nice in the fog with the sun breaking through.


I've written much about my feelings and thoughts on these Sunday rides so I won't bore you with that again. I just wanted to post a few photos to share the moment.

Bluekat commented somewhere the other day about being happy if it stayed daylight savings time all year.  I feel the same way.  I think we did that briefly during the Nixon administration.  And as I remember moms were upset because kids were waiting at bus stops in the dark.

I like the light that daylight savings time has.  More light is good... for riding and photography.

  2. Bob,
    Portland is laid out like a European city. The growth is contained close to the core. We have an "urban growth boundary" that prohibits the sprawl similar to Seattle & Los Angeles. We're fortunate to live close to the edge of the boundary so the country isn't far.

    Thanks for stopping by!

  3. Hi Mike,
    Looks like a very peaceful start to the day.

    My day is coming tomorrow. We'll see how I feel starting an hour earlier and a little colder. It was sure nice to have light at 7:00 tonight!

  4. Hi Kari,
    Yes it was peaceful (looking) but I was running late and I really shouldn't have stopped to take photos but I couldn't resist. It all worked out okay though. Hope your Monday went okay! Thank you.

  5. There really is nothing like early morning solitude for contemplation and refreshing the soul, is there?
