Skipped my last class today and rode out to Kincaid Park to hook up with the lady and ride the long way home, through the only sunny part of town. I tried taking pictures while riding, but most of them ended up way blurrier than this:

Riding no handed while operating a camera phone was definitely the dumbest thing I did today. As we rounded a corner, and I almost rear-ended the Lady G'Cakes when she stopped for this guy:

I don't like passing moose when they're facing me, as I've met a couple who seemed to interpret this as charging, and responded in kind. So we waited for a bit:

To no avail. So we pushed the bikes through the woods, over to an adjacent powerline, and then back onto the path past the bull. From the other side, we saw someone else in the same predicament:

I know, that pic sucked. What can I say? It's an iPhone. Anyway, that crappy pic should prepare you for this one, of yet more moose (cow and calf, although the calf is lost in the shadow and blur):

The Lady G'Cakes doesn't think too highly of the iPhone's photographic capabilities:
