Visiting the Refuge

Today was a day that was not rainy.  Got out, got on the hybrid and visited Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge.  Whew, that's a long title.

It's pretty.  It's quiet.  It helps stave off the winter blues.  Of course, chocolates, Belgian frites, firemen, a trip to Paris, a visit to the Conservatory of Flowers and other treats would do the trick but one can not always indulge.  One makes do.

I could have gone on a club ride but the morning sky was rather soupy and the temperature not to my liking.  So I opted this ride instead and enjoyed the reflections cast upon the water.

Nice, eh.  Calming.  Tranquility has its moments.  So nice to be away from the noise of everyday life.

A nice outing that allowed me to appreciate the beauty and diversity of the Bay Area.
