It's All Around Us

I decided to take my bike out today, even though it's been raining. Just couldn't bear the thought of the treadmill, really. I'd rather be soaked and outside. Anyhow, I am so glad I did! I recently got some accessories for my bike, and one of them was a small weather proof pack that attaches by velcro under the seat. I thought it might be smart to carry a phone with me since I often ride alone, but today I brought the camera. So, here it is for you to see through my eyes...
