was passing by FDNY Engine 54 / Ladder 4 on 8th Ave today.
hot and muggy day, some flowers and cards in front of the station in memory of fallen firemen.

Oh that's a sweet one! I was planning on getting that or a space horse in addition to my Mr. Pink, but impulsively purchased another frame instead. It's way far removed from these All City bikes, but they share ancestry...pics here when it arrives.

New York last night, looking towards Times Square I think.

Your wife finally forced you to get that operation I see........

Didn't even TOUCH a bike this weekend, was camping with the Boy Scouts, tubing down the Rainbow River...

STILL Hot here in FL...though I hear fall is hitting up north!

Nice pic of the red-shouldered hawk. Did you get any pics of the river? People may be surprised at how clear it is.

True, that one pic may make the Rainbow River look swampy...it is CLEAR....floating along watching the sand, grass, and fish as I floated by....

Yes, nice hawk photo. People would also be surprised at the difficulty of photographing birds!
That water does look sweet.

Yes, that hawk was rather irritated at me stalking him and trying to get close....I squeezed off one shot....and off he flew.....far away, this was his third perch after two shorter hops away from me. That water shot...is about 3-4 feet deep....LOOKS much shallower. The Rainbow River at Dunnellon FL is incredibly clear...and pretty cool, you freeze on the bottom and fry on the top!

btw if you guys haven't tried the sno berry peace tea yet, amazing

My 18 month old (k2) stuck it out until the 6th inning. (Pawsox got clobbered by Durham Bulls anyway!)

Sigh. The end of summer

This is a truly great photo, I recommend it for the Every Day Pic Hall of Fame. It is a simple picture but evokes much. You can feel the temperature, the excitement of the ride and the sense closing of something great. It has the same effect to me as an Edward Hopper painting. The color, lighting, reflection of the trees and the grain of the photo are perfect.

i cant figure it out. it is a bike in a tent?

It's a bike in a bubble. It will get an infection if it leaves the bubble.

Bike under glass..."IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, BREAK GLASS"! :-)

actually that looks like a Jeep soft top window material to me. Maybe that's what it is. Anyway, I'm going to respectfully note that perhaps bici_mania might have been under the influence while making his post above.

Better than a spare tire. It was in the back of my car last week for impromptu rides after work n such. I pulled it out on sunday morning for a long ride and that is when I took this photo

My grandson Max likes picking Grandma's flowers.

And thank heavens for that! The last month has been a scorcher here in Texas. Nice ride tonight, 36 miles
