getting ready to leave the school after an anti-bullying presentation for parents.

a surprise snowfall overnight and through the day. it was supposed to miss the city, but wound up catching us after all. unfortunately for me, this means the bike will be parked in the garage for the rest of the week, and then I’m on vacation until after new year’s, so I’m likely done riding for the year…

dawn over Tuscany Boulevard, through power lines and streetlights.

as I was riding home, I could see a system moving in, with many rainy squalls and distant lightning. it kept me pushing hard, despite the headwind, and I managed to get home in record time – about 2 minutes before the monsoon hit my house.

nearly home, after heading up the BFH, and about to do a quick trip up the LFH (that’s the pathway and the bottom half of the LFH to the left of the trees)

hopefully this crap starts to melt soon. -25˚C this morning, but heading up over the freezing mark on the weekend…

I prefer this version, with the uncorrected nasty sodium light, rather than the corrected pure white version.

2010/01/07: It’s winter time here in the northern hemisphere. Make a photo with snow, frost, or ice as the theme today. (@remilongva) #ds53

ice blue

dropped below -30˚C last night, and we’re stuck in a deep freeze for the next week, but at least the sky is blue again.

2009/12/07: Today’s theme is blue. Blue Monday? Blue bird? Or something else blue? Your call! #ds22

5000km

I passed the 5000km mark for distance ridden since Jan 1, 2009 this morning as I rode through Scenic Acres before sunrise.

it was tricky to get this shot – a 30s long exposure – without a tripod. I used the rear rack of my bike, with a glove propping the camera into roughly estimated position. It’s hard to aim a 50mm lens accurately by guessing (I couldn’t see through the viewfinder because the saddle was in the way…)

start of day

early morning activity along the north side of campus. construction crews were just firing up the cranes, and traffic began to pour through the area.
