193/365: "The biggest emotion in creation is the bridge to optimism." ~ Brian May

ACK!!! It's 11pm and I just got home a few minutes ago! Steve and I left the house at 7:45am and met our friend Michael and then drove 2.5 hours away to a lovely town called Cottage Grove, where we spent the day going on an amazing bike ride which took us to many beautiful covered bridges, around the edge of a gorgeous lake, and through sun-dappled forests! It was 35 miles of incredible scenery on a perfect day which we will never forget!!

This pictures shows flowers called Queen Anne's Lace in the foreground and one of the covered bridges in bokeh beyond! WHAT A DAY...and now it's time for bed! No time for more pictures tonight, and I'll have to look at my pictures tomorrow!

Brian Harold May CBE (born 19 July 1947) is an English musician, singer, songwriter and astrophysicist who achieved international fame as the guitarist of Queen. As a guitarist he uses his home-built guitar, "Red Special". Queen's albums include numerous May compositions, including "Tie Your Mother Down", "I Want It All", "We Will Rock You", "Fat Bottomed Girls" and "Who Wants to Live Forever". Wikipedia: Brian May

That sounds like a great day Janet. Beautifully taken shot of the flowers and the covered bridge providing a tantalising element in the bokeh.

A pretty name for a pretty flower. With that covered bridge in the background I'm getting flashbacks of the Meryl Streep movie! :) I also have to take my hat off to you for having been on a bicycle for 35 miles! I'm from the Netherlands and we are e nation of cyclists. Bicycles are really everywhere and I have been on a bike before I could walk. But I couldn't do 35 miles!!!!! No wonder you are tired! But I am looking forward to your pictures from the trip.
Sweet dreams...

I see 'your' covered bridge; must be a beautiful one.
Saw some of these bridges in Canada and the USA ( www.ipernity.com/doc/294067/37547254/in/album/772368 )
