Can't be the basil-parsley because the one looks to be spelled just like the other.

@DQRider Your photos are always magnificent. I will be heading up to those parts next month on a road trip. Hopefully I can meet up with some of you locals for a ride.

Continuing the weather related theme, "anvil-top" over Lake Michigan.

I love this thread! @thinktubes Amazingly this photo makes me think of Florida! Michigan is looking more and more like a must see destination.
This is just a shot from my commute.

A couple of shots from a solo 32-mile gravel ride in Warren County, Indiana on Sunday. 1,100 feet of climbing, awesome descents, great scenery, a thunderstorm, a flat, encounters with both dogs and law enforcement and, above all, a route that was at least 85% gravel. I wish I'd gotten more photos, but just getting back to my car was job #1.

Speaking of dogs...
At the risk of exceeding the cuteness quotient of this thread, I present our dog, Master Bailey Underfoot, aka The Wudge:
(Don't ask, I've been sworn to secrecy!)

Sunday hiking with my three girls and a friend up to Hurricane Hill, which I had the pleasure of riding down from, without having had to ride up to it. The trailhead (just past Hurricane Ridge) starts at about 5200 feet and gains another 800 or so in a short mile and a half.

I love shots like these. There's a whole collection on an old hard-drive somewhere of the same kind of thing, only with motorcycles, that I shot during my "Backroads Diary" days. I think some of them are still on the web.
One in particular I remember in North Dakota was of an old bank like the one above, but it had a sign out front that said "Liquor, Guns, and Ammo". They had turned it into a saloon, and all the ordnance was kept in the old bank vault. The menu was on a large chalkboard, drinks and food on the right, guns and ammo on the left.
And this was in 2004. Maybe if we elect Trump, the whole country will be like that again?

Took a nice long ride out of Hastings, Minnesota this morning. Shot some nice pics:
Here was some sculpture I found at the side of the trail:
It was a great day out, on a wonderful classic Raleigh.

@DQRider Fantastic scenery and bicycle photos as always. I can't wait to visit the Twin Cities next month. We are close to confirming the dates and then I can decide which bicycle bring along.
As for me I only took a couple of photos on my VERY early morning 25 mile ride yesterday (530AM). I rode over the new bikeway connector to Randall's Island from the South Bronx. The trip over is now exponentially better than riding over the Triborough Bridge. Under the 3rd Ave Bridge a mobile "DNA truck" was taking an early morning rest before business hours began.
Afterward we went down to take the ferry to Governor's Island for some fun with the little one. We took the first ferry at 10AM (free) and spent a good part of the day there. "The Hills" on the Island just opened this week and the views of Manhattan are spectacular. The newly constructed slides were a favorite of both big and small.
Resting before the start of a busy day.
