Friday, Sweet Friday
Every Friday I meet Paula at her school and we pedal a couple miles out to Sweetwater. It’s a great way to unwind on a Friday afternoon, with ‘the week’ behind us. Though when you work for yourself the day of the week does become less meaningful.
Paula’s been stepping up her technical skills lately. She’s not training hard in running, so she has energy and focus available. I’ve always known she’d be a kick ass mountain biker, just maybe not while running 100+ miles a week.
It started out dark, turning to a misty rain more common to the Pacific Northwest than the desert.
Then, all of the sudden…
Color!
Geologic, cactaceae, atmospheric, spectral.
Sometimes all at the same time.
Thar be spooky creatures in the desert!
I was having so much fun with the camera that Paula kept riding and headed back for school to get her room in order. I kept riding until dusk, slipping into a sublime coyote sunset.
