Spring has really arrived. There’s an explosion of green all around us, and we’re starting to have humid days. I’m looking forward to warm muggy evenings.

Put a couple of the bike spurs on the truck today, and went for my first bike ride of the season. I normally bike around the lakes (Lake of the Isles, Calhoun, and sometimes Harriet), the views are so nice. Today though I went off the normal trails, and instead went exploring around the University of Minnesota. I ended up in areas I’d never seen before, biking along some rail road tracks and some areas down by the Mississippi. Pretty rough going in some spots, but my bike can handle it.

This tender growth was found at the West River Road along the Mississippi. Will have to go back there for some evening shots, once its warmer that is.

The roots almost seem to be cradling the leaves. I feel like being cradled too, by warm weather that is. I’m looking forward to warm summer evenings.
