A Late Autumn Solo Bike Ride & Engaging the Natural Beauty Around Us

“As the days grow shorter and the air becomes crisper, nature paints a magnificent tapestry of colors across the Northern California’s landscape.”

—Kate Freeman

I love the freedom a bike gives me to just explore streets, avenues, hills, roads, off-roads, whether it is the morning, mid-day or late afternoon. I can take a walk and feel melancholy at times, but it is almost impossible for me to ride my bike and be in a bad mood. Most of the photos taken here are within a 3-4 mile radius from my home. The colors from some of the trees are getting brighter, some are shedding their leaves rather rapidly, and the clouds are often times more pleasurable than a bright sunny day. What I have found particularly mesmerizing of late are the rowing and sculling teams on their longboats at Vasona lake County Park.
