Just Riding Around

Posted on September 4, 2016 by Kris Cunningham

I always have my camera with me so it doesn’t take long to accumulate a collection of pictures.

The other day I rode out towards Aguacatal, one of my favorite routes. Villa Patricia is a new housing development going in out there. They added another road recently, and suddenly there are four new houses there.

I have to include a mighty machine now and then for my grandson

After you pass Villa Patricia on the left and a more established residential neighborhood on the right, you are in a rural area with beautiful green fields and mountains in the distance.

Green fields, usually with cows but they must have been elsewhere today.
Beautiful green hills beyond

The next day I headed out on my other favorite route, the road to La Barqueta. I don’t go to the beach very often because it is far and hot, but the whole route out there is wonderful with green sugar cane fields, cow pastures, and a few little towns.

Back in the trees in the water are a lot of white egrets. It looks like quite a few of them are sitting on nests
This horse was nice enough to pose perfectly for me

 

Here are a few more photos taken on the way back into town.

The site of the proposed sports complex. Nothing much has been going on for quite a while though. I hear they are waiting on more funding.
Green fields, and many cows way back in the distance

But like almost all my routes, it’s time to come back to town and make my way home.

This is something I pretty much never see, a guy helping his drunk friend home in the middle of the day.

Enjoying my area at 10 miles per hour….there is a lot to be said for that.

    Thanks for the Sunday ride, Kris! I especially like the horses and the cows, and of course the beautiful scenery surrounding them. (Also, good to have a friend to help you get home when you’re a little drunk, and in the middle of the day. Males one wonder what his story is, why he felt the need to get sloshed at that time of day – sad times, hard times…)

    I imagine everyone has a story – good or bad. I like the squirrel on the power lines. Great shot because they are fast movers.

    Thanks! I love your views of our country. It helps me to treasure all the things that brought us here.
