In 2009, I got on a "WATERFALL" kick. I looked for as many photographic waterfalls I could find. I rode my bike as well as hiked to find them. These were taken with my FinePix camera...and I think they leave some to be desired. Oh what the heck, I'm still figuring out how to take great photos...

I took a road trip to Florida. Side roads for the most part. I'd never been this way before. I found Butler Island GA. and the marshes of GA to be absolutely magnificent.

And then we have great opportunities for finding old log structures like this one. What better way to photograph a great old home like this, then with my bike in the foreground?
Image Caption: Old Country Stores are novelties now
Who doesn't like these novel and eclectic country stores? Fun on the outside, and just "WOW" on the inside!
Image Caption: This log outbuilding is classically cool
For me, riding is all about noticing your surroundings. Would you have seen this well enough to stop and photograph from your car? Doubtful. I'm a tourist when I ride my bike, and I don't care who knows it!

I'm so very lucky to live here in this part of the country, where the roads offer such views.
Image Caption: Kitty Hawk NC
This photo is not of any particular fancy grade, but I did enjoy my trip to Kitty Hawk, I think I want to do it again.
Image Caption: Grand Guitar Building, Bristol TN.
Isn't this a fun building? I was so impressed with it. I stopped and photographed it. I had a bit of a problem with parts falling off my bike when I took this ride from Bristol to Greenville, but it was one of my most memorable rides in this area.

Let me ask you, why you don't stop to take photos like these? I know you ride in place that rival Tennessee in beauty...does shots like these make you think "I know a place like this, very close to where I live!"
Image Caption: I love old cars.
All of you who have followed my adventures for a while know how much I love old classic cars found on the roadsides!

Hey Lady,
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff as always. I know I can count on you for my road and scenic picture fix.
Great photos! Love this stuff!
ReplyDeleteChessie, I love your pictures of old cars, There's just something fascinating about the lives of these cars, I always wonder what kind of people owned them. Check out this Volvo, it was the car my dad had when I was a kid :-)
