Crossed the Namekagon River three times on my ride today. The first time was near Seeley. The second was a bit farther south.
Along the way, I passed some farm machinery that I've seen before on other rides and had thought about photographing.
I passed another Osprey nest on my ride today.

My ride was late in the day, as the sun was getting low in the sky, casting elongated shadows.
Great pictures. We have had Osprey near our home and I have found many people mistake their nest for Eagle nest. Hauling the stick is an awesome photo...great catch.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Roger! It's challenging trying to get a good photo of an Osprey. I saw four flying over Hayward Lake the other day and tried to get a good shot without luck.
DeleteI love the setup on your Bob Jackson. So colorful! Also, great fenders!
ReplyDeleteMG - Thanks! It's a custom paint job that I chose when I had the bike built. I especially like the "barber pole" seat tube. The magenta fenders were an afterthought but I really like them. I briefly checked out your blog and see that you do brevets/randonneuring events and that you did PBP in 2011. I will have to spend more time reading your blog because I'm hoping to do PBP for the first time in 2015. I will be trying to complete a brevet series this summer in preparation for doing the qualifying brevets next year.
DeleteExciting! While I have liked both domestic 1200Ks that my husband and I have ridden, there is something really special about PBP. Good luck with it all!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Everything I've read about PBP seems to make it stand apart from other 1200Ks, especially in the support and enthusiasm it receives from the locals. I lived in France for a short time in the 80s, which is when I first learned about PBP, and have had the dream to do it ever since.
