bluekat's Journeys

I promised a little motorbike porn, so Sam and I went for a little spin this morning. It was nice to be back on the (motor)bike. Well I have been coummuting, but this was different. Just take to the road and go. No plan in mind. Ride 'til ready for lunch then turn toward home. The wheat is ready for harvest. and harvesting is happening fast and furious around the valley. We've replace fog banks...with dust clouds. (dirt-devils to follow). We used to burn the fields afterwords, but now we build straw towers to the sky. It was a nice morning for a ride. Sometimes I was cruising along at a whopping 40 mph. I might have hit 60 a time or two. Could say it was a very laid back ride. Is it shameful for a Ninja to cruise at 40 mph? :)

All spring I waited and waited (and not with patience) for the rain and clouds to go away. So what do I do when the sunshine finally shows up? I take more pictures of clouds. I haven't played in photoshop lately, so I'm probably a little heavy handed messing with all the tools and stuff, but I had fun. Near and Far with the help of a zoom lens. Soon the wheat fields will be harvested.
