Gorgeous Friday!

I totally lucked out on my ride home! - It didn't start raining, and I was able to get some amazing photographs. It was even sunny and amazing at the beginning of my ride. Even with the sun, the weather was pretty cold, especially as the sun set more and more.

On this particular ride, I was so excited that it was nice weather, that I stopped a lot to take pictures. The weather report says its going to rain for the next full week -- by the time its nice again, all the leaves that are turning colors now will be completely gone!

When I got to the I-90 bridge there was a strong headwind, and it was very cold! I was really glad I had leg warmers and a long sleeved jersey! The bridge was more empty today than it normally is, which I was really glad about; I have been rather nervous about crossing the bridge-deck lately when there are lots of cyclists coming the other direction, or people walking or jogging on the bridge. Once I was across the bridge, I started to see the gorgeous vines on the walls I blogged about earlier.

I think these vines are amazing.

By the time I got to these vines, the sun was almost down and they were in shadow, so I didn't get quite the gorgeous photo's that I had gotten at the beginning of the ride.

Still, amazing.

First pictures of FALL!

I remembered my camera today!

This picture is of some of the first leaves to turn yellow outside my building. Expect more pictures tonight... well maybe tomorrow.

Hopefully it won't be raining on my ride home, I really wished I had a camera yesterday, the ride was SO GORGEOUS!! The I-90 trail crosses a couple of tree lined streets where the colors are just starting to change. Also, there are some amazing vines growing on the I-90 walls.

Ok -- enough about what I wished I could take pictures of -- I promise to take some tonight!

I love fall!

Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous, leaves just starting to change colors... I can see a few yellow leaves on the trees across from my cubical. When I ride across I-90 the vines are starting to turn red; and the bushes on Capital Hill are this insane bright red!

I didn't have my camera yesterday, so I couldn't take any pictures; I left it at home again today, so keep your fingers crossed for Friday.

The picture above is one that I took last year. Last year the weather was perfect. Super cold at night, and not much rain, so the leaves turned really bright colors. I hope this year is just as gorgeous.
