The last Rays of the Day


We dropped off Bella and Alonzo for the annual checkup today, so we are Scooter-less right now; therefore this evening we had to go with our second choice, our still new and exciting bicycles! The evening light was just amazing, and we enjoyed the fantastic fresh and clean air we had today. Of course, Sonja's beautiful bike asked for a few model shots, so I happily obliged!

It is quite impressive how relatively easy it is to ride on today's bicycles. We are never going to like long upward slopes, but the small hills we have in our valley we hardly even notice! These are great vehicles!

      The evening light was unique today. Golden hour is a nice expression to describe it.

    I was thinking the same thing. Really nice light.

    After a few years of running around on your bicycles and you'll be ready to tackle the Alps...

      A few years and then ready for the Alps? Give us a decade or two... then we're gonna make it.

    Just a gorgeous Springtime. And you get to enjoy it at a slower and quieter pace, too. You and the Lovely Bicycle! blogger could share beautiful photos!

    When I was in college my bicycle was my sole means of transportation. I thought nothing of a sixty kilometer return trip downtown to buy ski gloves in August. I'm not up for that anymore.

    Great pictures. Such warm golden tones, just as the others have said.

    I envy your being out later in the evening. I miss our evening walks, but when we have to be up at 4, we have to be to bed pretty early.

      Ouch, being up at four is indeed quite brutal. In Germany we have a saying that translates to "Morning hour has gold in its mouth" (Early bird catches the worm), but I could never subscribe to that.

    I miss Germany so much, and these beautiful pics remind me of how wonderful it is back home!
