Water, the gift that keeps on giving.
27 Aug 2025
Water shoots into the air creating droplets that gravity captures and hurls them into the pool below. The bright sunlight is filtered through the water droplets and turns them into different colors. Ripples create circular movement and swirls of motion. Undulating golden water waves formulate and reflect the shadows created by the reflections of light off the objects the sunlight hits. The spray of water droplets reaches my face and my reaction is one of gratification. Water the liquid gift that just keeps on giving.

Water and City lights
26 Aug 2025
The lake water rippled in the slight breeze as the pelicans searched for food. Surrounding the pelicans, were ducks and geese feeding and flapping their water soaked wings. Pelicans would fly gracefully to the feeding location to join the rest of the flock. As the water fowl were feeding, the sun was setting quickly and the surrounding area grew dark. The lights of the city turned on similtaneously and their reflection bounced off the surface of the rippling water. This was a signal for my challenge to end for today, to be continued tomorrow. Onward I pedaled to my finishing point tired but renewed at the same time.

Green Growth and Sunshine.
25 Aug 2025
As the trees and the plants roots grow deep into the prairie soil absorbing necessary nutrients the color green is predominant. Water and organic matter mix together to precipitate growth and photosynthesis. The bright light from the sun is integral to the green growth of the plants and the intricate processes that occur in plain sight and hidden beneath the soil. Constantly changing and adapting to the naturally occuring conditions the trees and plants contribute to the overall well being of the ecosystem. From food for all living creatures to the evaporation of water, and the release of oxygen, green is one of the colors of growth and life. Humankind is one of the beneficiaries of this precious process of growth and light. Never take for granted the unseen and the seen for it is our reason for our existence.

Into the sun trail ride.
24 Aug 2025
The sun shone brightly as I pedaled onward to my destination, my goal within reach, but still unattainable, due to circumstances beyond my control. The brilliant sun eminating it's raw energy gave me hope that things would turn out for the best. To think that this round ball of massive, fiery energy is what kept the human race alive was fascinating. Most days it would rise visibly to fulfill it's universal duty and set, leaving darkness behind. The vastness of the universe is mind boggling and infinite in it's potential. Capturing a burning sphere so far away with my camera, left me with a sense of awe and I would never take the sun for granted ever again. As the sun set, I realized that this burning sphere was a reliable ally for my existence on this spinning mass we call earth and it filled my soul with energy and hope.

Musical vibrations trail ride.
23 Aug 2025
The sound of drums, guitar and voice filled the air, while I pedaled hard against the wind. Fading in and out with the moving wind, muffling and at times amplifying the sounds. The amplified intruments and voice carried for miles and while I pedaled away from the performance location, the sounds followed me. The talented musicians played their music with passion and thus inspired me to pursue my challenge to defeat cancer all the more tenaciously. Before the day was over I had pedaled 16 km. The sun was quickly setting and my musical vibrations trail ride was comiing to an end until the next daily challenge was forthcoming.
