On Yesterday’s Bike Ride: Sights and Sounds

What you see depends on where you look. Frieda and I repeatedly ride to the same few places, for the most part. But I manage to see new things each time. Yesterday, we went to a city park where I’ve taken several photos in the past. But none look exactly like the ones I got yesterday. All of the photos below were shot from the same spot, but looking in different directions.

For one, I turned away from the creek and the natural landscape, pointing my camera toward the city instead. A little shot of Americana.

Facing the other way, you might not know there was an urban area so close.

I rode in the evening and stayed until I looked up and saw the lamp signaling me it was time to get home while I could still see and be seen.

The cicadas sang me a goodbye song.

I live in Missouri, a more beautiful place than many realize. I love writing, reading, walking, bicycling, and making lists. I’ve written poetry since I was seven. A few years ago I branched out into short fiction and memoir pieces. I also perpetually have a novel in progress. My brain pursues ideas at a brisk pace, wandering all over the map. This blog represents one of my efforts to keep up with it. View all posts by thedamari
