Take a Little Ride with Me -
Today, for a change, it was not pouring down rain, so out came the little electric scooter and off I went on a short trip around the area.
Today there was not a whole lot to see around here, but there were some bright red roses blooming in front of the fence around the doggie exercise yard. I gave the old Canon camera a taste of those roses before moving on to other things.
One of the old pine trees along the pathway was showing off some crusty, crackly gray bark. With a camera in hand and not a lot of artistic sense upstairs in what passes for my brain, I shot a picture of the bark. Then I listened for the tree to say something to me. Nothing. Plenty of bark but no bite.
Well. after all it is a tree of the evergreen flavor - not some kind of flowering (or barking) dogwood tree.
I was becoming a wee bit bored. So I decided to commemorate this excursion by making a photograph of the pathway itself. I will now pretend that I made that curvy slab of concrete happy such that it smiled at me.
I did make it back to the farmhouse before the next (inevitable) rainstorm.

@inertia4 - It was short. It was nice enough. It was boring. Nothing wrong with any of that. The photos turned out to be captive at that toward which the camera pointed. All's well that turns out well. (Next trip - possibly on to Alaska. Might require one extra day or so from here in Texas.) -Gus-

@LadyDuck - Ms Anna - You know that old expression, :"Rain, rain, go away, little Ceerios wants to play. Come again another day..."
And this area is good to look at, too - quiet other than for the many pet dogs and kids. Big change from life in the huge city. -Gus-

@PatZAnthony - Ms Pat - Right you are about the nice area here, And the scootering around really is good fun - but some of the neighbors have taken notice of my riding habit and are beginning to make a bit of fun of me on my iron horse. -Gus-

Go deeper in the woods. You may find some critters in there.
