The plastic is used for weed control. Better than sprays? But environmentally a disaster.

That would be a very appropriate name!

Very cool. Harlequin bug, I think.

Great shot!

Scott Anderson commented on a photo in Île de Ré

I took this photo 12 years ago also, with a camera I wasn’t nearly as happy with as what I carry now. I could make out the date, but it was very foggy. This is a really great shot.

I like it too, but it would be better without the arms. It’s the nicest spiral staircase I’ve ever seen. And yes, Île de Ré is worth a return trip!

You’ve done fine. This is way better than the photo I came home with from this lighthouse. Isn’t this the best place though? I’d love to see this again.

It’s now a couple of days later and the rain seems limited to a small possibility of afternoon showers for the next few days. Fingers crossed!

I have discussions with myself! But actually, Al and I usually find ourselves choosing the same option when touring.

That was my guess, but I don’t remember the honeysuckle in our yard in Castlegar (we moved away when I was 6) smelling quite so sweet.

Glad to help! Most of them I’ve seen on bike paths have been hard tails (front suspension only) rather than the dual-suspension bikes we see on actual mountain bike trails in BC.

I’m really glad you’re taking this route. Really enjoyed this region and along the coast. Great to see some of these images again. But the rain!

Hi Jacquie - that’s quite the day you had. I just read your entry from your French Alpes blog riding up Ventoux loaded... very very impressive! Hope things go well for the solo part of your trip. To me that’s impressive as well. One thing I guess decision making is a bit easier.

Some species of honeysuckle.
