This should probably just fall under the “just my rides” post but I wanted to include one of my photos here and I can’t do that (easily) in a reply.

Daisies Along the Paul Douglas Bike Trail

Anyway, it’s a beautiful spring day here today in Chicagoland and I just took a really nice ride with a friend (mostly in Inverness) and on the way back home I managed to get some photos of some of the many daisies along side of the Paul Douglas Bike Trail.  

I had noticed that there were quite a few daisies along the trail and wanted to play flower photographer on some nice day. Well, I guess today was the day!

I am only an average photographer (even though I really like photography) but I did get a few nice photos. My biggest regret is that I didn’t get my photos before they groomed the trail and mowed down all the daisies that were within 2 or 3 feet of the trail.

It really looked cool when the daisies  came right up to the trail. I am glad that they keep the trail maintained but I wish that I would have gotten the photos before they mowed.

We can’t always “stop to smell the roses” but maybe we can “ride and enjoy the daisies”.

Anyway, here is the Paul Douglas Bike Trail Daisy Photo Page that I just posted if you are interested in checking it out. I also created a link to this page from the main Paul Douglas Bike Trail page (I originally called this the Algonquin Road Trail before the main Paul Douglas part of the trail was complete).
