Maybe they messed up on the location of the album cover photo shoot .. they were supposed to be back with the cactus.

That cactus looks like it's posing for an album cover photo!

That was for you - I knew you’d appreciate it. And I agree - likely a sanderling.

Littorally! :-)

Might be a sanderling.

Thank you so much! I really enjoy putting then together but it’s great to have feedback.

Thanks for remembering! Oh, wait - I guess I reminded you.

Thank you, Suzanne. I could have done my 73 miler today of course, but then what would I have to look forward to the rest of the year? I’ll enjoy savoring the anticipation for a few months.

And yes, I had Janos in mind when I picked the music. He has excellent taste, I’d say. Two of a mind.

Thanks for the kind words. You always make my day!

Happy Birthday, Scott! Sensational birthday ride - 43 miles means you just turned 43, right? You always ride your age in miles on your birthday. And the music you chose... Janos perked his ears and shouted immediately Gerry Mulligan and Chet B - no, Paul Desmond! And Rachael, you are a brave trouper not to complain about the lousy choice of roads. Stunning video and scenery! Now I'll go look at the others.

Happy Birthday, Scott!
You're both amazing! But, you're especially amazing today!
Keep on truckin'.

Patrick

Yes agreed!
Happy Birthday Scott (belated now)! Remarkable statistics for your past year. Wow!

Happy Birthday, Scott.

Rocky, if it was possible to give "hearts" to videos I'm pretty sure Cycleblaze would explode from excessive heart overload. Your videos are that good. Just sayin'.

Looks like a decent theory. Nice!

Might be Spanish lavender.

Thanks so much, Carolyn. This made my morning. Andalucia is remarkable - it is so diverse. This corner is nothing like the rest of the province.
