Since the theme seems to be gloomy weather, I think I am going to call this genre "Velo Noir". Here is the fugitive Great Scott, pinned against the wall by a bright light in the darkness. Somebody cue the orchestra, we need some dramatic crescendo:

Helios enjoying the box. It was intended for ebay stuff. My spouse said I couldn't sell him on ebay though.
This is Mercury, he is new to the family. He is still a kitty and is some times referred to as Kitty Mercs. Both are known for their speed and ferocious tenacity.
This is Athena. She doesn't like Kitty Mercs. She is upset I haven't sold him on ebay.
This is Helios, he is the king of the yard and house. I usually refer to him as "El Marmalado Grande"
These beautiful young ladies are my daughters, enjoying the freshly cut grass on a beautiful spring day.

Nice. Lots of history in that frame - and your Pug is a very classy ride. 
Here are a couple from my ride this morning - through Crosby Farm across the Mississippi from Fort Snelling:
Here is an example of the original definition of the word "gnarly", before the Doods got hold of it:

One of the rest stations for the 50km/100km Rose Hill Rally 2016 charity ride. I rode my fat arse around 33.1 miles, and I'm paying for it now. I did get a t-shirt, though, which is nice.

Had a wonderful ride on my French Bike today. Crossed the new Lafayette Bridge into Lowertown, Saint Paul:
Out of Saint Paul, around Lake Phalen, and then out on the beautiful Gateway Trail...
...some portions of which are now in black & white:
And did some unexpected train spotting on the way home:
What a gorgeous day! It's about time...

Picking up with the steam loco (NICE!)
This is the console for the Wurlitzer theater pipe organ that accompanied 'Girl Shy', a 1924 silent movie shown at the Hanover Theater in Worcester. The Hanover theater has the biggest (I think) theater pipe organ in New England. I can get you all the details you might want as the organ was donated by one of my Father's good friends. These are great shows for those in the Worcester region and beyond.

@Ed. there is a theater like that in Jersey City, NJ. We went to an event there, a couple of movies accompanied by organ. It was huge fun.

Great photos and gorgeous bikes! I am building up my first upright townie conversion now and I hope it turns out half as nice as yours. We will be heading to St. Paul/Minneapolis this late spring/early summer to visit friends and family. I can't wait to ride out there.

Be sure to let us know when you get out here - there are many of us locals here on the forums. Maybe we can arrange a guided tour.

Spring mornings are better when I ride my go-slow-and-enjoy-the-moment bike into work.
196X Carlton Catalina rebuilt as a 3sp sunny day cruiser.

Garden for a local restaurant down the street from my house. That's the Delaware River in the backround. Washington crossed it a few miles north to defeat the British at Trenton.

More importantly, if this had mudguards it would be hard to justify having another messy-day commuting bike built up fairly similarly (the Trek 620 commuter w/ mudguards, basket, rack and albatross bars is almost done.)

Mudgards would require going down a tire size or two (35mm's on there now just barely fit.)

Hey, I've almost got my wife convinced.
