It was the first day of spring so I went for a ride.......well I would have gone anyway.

I like the first one in particular.

Nice colours and very peaceful looking.

I got out too on the first day of Spring on my BW. Got off from work earlier than usual so I decided to ride to Tractor Supply for a part for my antique tractor, a 55 Ford 600. Next stop was Starbucks for an Americana. If you're trying to steer away from diary they have coconut milk for creamer (not out but in fridge). Wrote in my journal for a bit and took the long way home through the country (30 miles). Took a few pics on the driveway to my cabin in the woods.

These are great pictures. It has been riding weather here in Vegas for the last month. Tomorrow and maybe Saturday we might get some rain.

Your weather arrived in Dallas today. Deb and I drove to west Texas and saw this weather front approaching us. Looked rather sinister and rain wasn't so bad but wind was terrific.

And once we drove thru the storm we pushed on into Comanche country south of Abilene. This was a gorgeous blue bonnet patch near Robert Lee, Texas. This is our Morkie, Toby.

Good pictures Dan. My wife, Pat and I are animal lovers also. I rode yesterday in 73 degrees, here in Oakland, Tn. That front in your picture got here at 6a.m. today and another one is right behind it. Thanks for the pics.

Well, you got us beat - only 4 mutts and 2 hens. However, when my daughter & spouse had to move in with us for a few months last summer, we had on our property: 9 dogs, 13 chickens, 3 rabbits, and 5 goats. I'm sure glad they're in their own house now!  :P

Rode the BW about 60 miles this afternoon through the country side and onto one of my favorite local twisties. On the way I stopped for a burrito at a mom and pop Mexican joint and walked out and forgot to pay the bill. Since I turned around at the end of the twisties and re-traced my way home I stopped and paid 3.89 for my meal before the food cops would find me. Saw lots of wild flowers along the way and took these pics.

Great pictures! Wished we had seen Texas Country Reporter BEFORE we went to south TX.
