PIC OF THE WEEK - BLACK AND BLUE SUMMER

As usual, Harley and I were out and about, enjoying the Glides Saturday and stopped at one of our favorite parks. The Confederate Memorial Park is a perfect rest stop for us and each time we come here, I add to my collection of pics from this place.

BLACK AND BLUE SUMMER
There was a day, when a black and blue summer meant a punch in the eye and a kick to the shins, but Harley's blue baby and my black beauty make a great color combination for our lazy summer rides around our sweeping southern highways. We logged almost 250 miles Saturday while our temperature reached 90 and the sun stayed high in a bright blue sky. Better than a punch in the eye I guess.

I hope you all have a great Monday everybody!

Went out this weekend with W, and logged nearly 200 miles on Sunday. Had no real plan, but we just kept going and going until I figured we had better started heading home. Those are the best rides sometimes.

At first glance that looked like “Gilligan’s Island” with bikes.

Bucky... Your so right! Harley and I go in a direction a lot of times and have no clue where we're going. It usually comes to us eventually. LOL!

Dean... Thanks! I love this little park, especially during Spring.

Mq01... I think we missed the iris blooms by a couple weeks. Pfffttt.

Willy D... LOL! I'm glad my island has highways! :)

Webster... Peaceful... great way to describe this place. I'm going to do a post of the park. There's a lot to share about it, and you being a history buff, would find the story interesting. Hope you have a great week!

The only thing I wan't black and blue is my **** and my ass from all the riding I do this year.

Denise... we may be in for lots of rain for the holiday, but riding is definitely still in the plan!

KT... Me too! When I thought you were coming, my mind was already lining up all the cool roads I could take you on. It's gonna happen... one day!

Dave... I think that's a good plan! I almost called this pic "The Garden of Eden". Probably should have. :)
