riding again

Here is a bit of a departure from all the recent black and white posts. Some of you may remember that I had a mishap with my motorcycle and a certain peacock earlier this summer. I am glad to say that the peacock was unharmed, the bike is repaired, and my scrapes healed up nicely, so, I am riding again!

no birds were harmed

So, I post this with a bit of sadness. A few weeks ago I had a meeting with a peacock. You read that correctly: a peacock. The good news is that no birds were harmed while riding my Scout Sixty. The bad news is that my motorcycle and I had a close encounter with the road of the worst kind. We are both fine and, hopefully, repairs won’t take too long.

Back to the wind farm, but this time in a monochrome mood. 

hmmmmm….

Would love to walk through that door and see what’s inside one of the wind turbines that you can see in my previous post. Maybe they are not wind turbines after all…maybe they are launch vehicles that will take us straight to……

For this post: our Midwest sky near Ransom, IL. This is one of the few remaining summer skies around here. Fall is slowly moving in.

My last post (for now) of these amazing wind turbines. I would like to say that I carefully planned this composition…that the wind turbines interesting resemblance to the sun star was intentional…  but I can’t. However, I do like the way it turned out. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week.

The third image in my “catching the wind” series. Not quite sure if a total of four images constitutes a series, but I will leave that for you to decide. Would love to climb inside one of these things some day….

The second image from a recent motorcycle ride to a wind farm not far from where we live. For some reason I am fascinated by these gigantic pinwheels and the “whoosh” sound that they make as those huge blades turn….. pretty cool! Two more will follow….in color.

August is showing it can do summer….warm days and almost cool evenings have made for some beautiful days here. You can see that Fall and Winter are on their way back…the sunrise is later and the sunset is earlier… looking forward to the change of seasons…

Lot’s of rain yields lots of beautiful green cornfields (if you happen to think cornfields are beautiful!). It has been a BUSY, but wonderful summer. I may not be around WordPress land this week as I fulfill my role as a chaperone for our high school’s band camp this week…. I am not quite sure if we have internet. All to say, have a wonderful week, see you soon!
