Fogbound

I started off the day with a dream that I was going to ride to the Green River Natural Resource Area…show off the wonderful viewing towers…get photos of vast rafts of ducks covering the old sewage ponds…

 Unfortunately, when I stepped out of work today I discovered that we were fogbound!  Hmmm.  So, change of plans.  I went for the boring, old, done to death Big Soos Creek trail.  But today was different, because well, there was fog.

Because there was fog, the first thing I noticed was that there were thousands of spider webs everywhere.

I don’t know what spiders were in these webs.

I stopped at a house with a wonderful garden, and a brilliant dry stone wall.

There’s a little ceramic owl set into the wall–it’s the object with the blue eyes.
There was something else there in the wall, something I’d never noticed before. For the record, this is probably as close as I will come to spotting a hedgehog:

Look carefully at the spot enclosed by my handlebars…there’s a hedgehog there.
The same garden has some Chinese Lanterns, too.

Some nice looking nettles–I think I will see if treetop’s tip for the nettle hair conditioner will work.

Back near the 208th Street parking lot, one of the feral rabbits:

Serendipity! I met a fellow member of Bike Forums out there on the new extension.

Naturally, by the time I got home, all the fog was gone, and there was brilliant sunshine.

The 1980s Nishiki Sport mixte served me well today, but onto another bike tomorrow!
