What the camera did not see!!

Cyclist I didn't see
I have been told by a very reputable source that last Saturday at the
Cateye Moonride,  … WAIT FOR IT…  BREAKING, AND BREATHTAKING, NEWS !!!
There was one bike rider, a man, naked .!!! Yes, truly. I missed  him. Maybe just as well,  this is a public blog and not  censored for younger readers.
The Abutilon, almost transparent, bloomed in the afternoon sun.  This was in  Gloria’s garden
Lantern flower
Down the street, I stood in the road, and looked at these beautiful colours. They deepened so quickly, and here the reflection is on the wet road,after overnight rain.

The colours darken













On the way back to our family's home, a lady was out walking.
I could not miss her in the brightest PINK Nike shoes.
Glorious Nike shoes
Mother’s Day started with a phone call from the far south. I think they will have snow to 300m tomorrow.
Then after I came back from town, this was waiting, a total surprise. Everyone knew, all day Saturday.
“How did you keep this a secret” “ Easy Nanny, we were out all day at the Cateye, and you were  somewhere else all the  time taking photos!!” Well, not all the time as I missed the naked man!!!
I hope they travel home well on Thursday.
