Been pretty busy with a long season of ag work, so I haven't gotten out much. A quick weekend escape up to my parent's cabin near Shaver Lake afforded me just enough time to finish a painting! This is based on a photo I took last November at China Creek Preserve in Centerville, CA. It's a rather majestic Valley Oak that I can't say I did justice... But I'm learning! Acrylic on canvas, 50x33 cm.

Here's one I shot of my grandparents getting ready to board the first ever international flight out of Port Angeles, WA. (To Victoria, BC) Probably around 1927 or so. OK, I my iPhone and I weren't there at the time, but we were at our annual "Cousins' Day" picnic out at the lake. My uncle had this photo hanging on the wall, so I took it down to get a copy of it with my phone.

And to make this post more vintage-bike related, here's their great-granddaughter Cierra just getting ready to ride home from the party on her early 80s Nishiki International. At a little over 5' 11" she and I are the same height. We compared arms and legs, and by golly, my first-cousin-once-removed is biometrically pretty much my twin. ( I've got a good thirty or forty pounds on her though.) Apart from terrific good looks, I guess the vintage bike appreciation runs in the family, too

^^^^^^ Buckle that helmet, young lady!
This has been the "every day" scene here on the Madison Isthmus the last 10 days or so.
This is my street, about three blocks down. Lakes on either side of the isthmus are at record levels, and the storm drains are at the level of the river that runs between them. This puts some streets under water. And it's still raining. Levels have been going up and down by 3-6 inches, based on how much it rains, and how much water they allow to run from one lake to the other. We're sandbagged in, backflow valve in place, sump pump at the ready, but still hoping for the best. Between this and the construction, my commute changes on a daily basis.

cycle spinner chicken dinner
The daughter was back from the University for the long Labor Day weekend so we decided to celebrate a bit at a friend of a friend of my son's chicken restaurant. This was the new artwork added since our last go round there.

cool mural but death riding my rear rack might just freak me out a bit...

So does Death have its sights on the chicken, to supply the restaurant, or has the chicken in the basket hired Death to stalk the restaurateur in revenge? Burning question....
(And that's some extreme frame geometry.....)

The place serves up some HOT SPICEY chicken, hence the harbinger of death along for the ride on the rear rack. Yeah, the bike geometry looks like it was tweaked a wee bit to fit the advertising space. It's not perfect, but, hey, bike murals are far and few, so, I'll give them some slack (angles).

Our bikes on a ferry boat on Monday.
I think this is the last year for my daughter in the trailer. I really need to find a tag-along for her.

My newest old bike, a '78 Peugeot PR10 (?) in Santa Paula, CA last week. Lots of great murals around town.

sometimes you mow the lawn at night so there is time for riding in the day.

The kitten I found on the bike path. He's with me for now but will be moving to another home.

A photographer friend took those pictures. He's very good.

The “generic” turn-around point of the workday lunchtime ride. Three rides at work with this bike so far and only one made it to the turn-around. The other two rides were cut short by flat tires.
