late afternoon

By late in the day, I can't stand it. I leave my office and head toward the bike path.

You can do that in Madison -- hit the trail within minutes of your central digs. Past the lakes...

Back in April, I blogged about the Hmong farmers, renting land on the periphery of Madison, growing foods, flowers. Now, in early October, the harvest is winding down. Still, the work continues. Squash, green onions, cosmos. Long list. No more bugs now. Just a beautiful day to be outside.

A good ride. It's so easy here: the bike is unlatched, the helmet is on and there you have it. So long as the weather holds.

  1. Such clarity in your photos. I really need to get down to Madison again. I miss it.

    And Mineral Point along the way.
