Some Time Away from the Bike

I am almost afraid to write this here on the blog. I fear public ridicule. Honestly, it feels a little bit like a confessional, anxiety going into it and relief coming out of it.So here goes. I HAVE NOT RIDDEN MY BIKE IN OVER A MONTH! There I said it. But, not all is lost. […]

My last walk with the OMD EM1

I expected by this time this month I’d be prepping to share images taken with the new Fuji X Pro 2. But that camera delivery has been delayed so I dug into the recent archives for today’s post. Back in late December, I took one final walk (before selling it to fund X Pro 2) […]
