This picture is dedicated to those of you who live in the Northeast… and the Southeast… and, well… pretty much anywhere east of here.
I took this earlier in the week on a bike ride. No, it was not warm (below freezing anyway), but the sun and blue skies goes a LONG way in making the cold bearable.

Blue skies and a bike ride? That’s about as close to heaven as anything I could imagine these days. Thanks for the beautiful picture.

I like the three clumps of grass against the blue sky! I might have passed on the bike ride, but I’m glad you didn’t.

I love the bright blue contrasting with the earth tones of the grasses

Beautiful! Very similar to another of your photos that now graces my office wall. Yup, we’ve had enough snow, but not nearly as much as my sis in Alexandria!

How simple and still very, very beautiful.
The powerful color combination just calls you outdoors. Unfortunately we have just clouds and mud outside.
