PIC OF THE WEEK - SUNSET ON SUMMER

Today is Labor Day. Not only does it give us an extra day off... for me it marks the end of summer.

Labor Day was always the holiday that meant school was back in session, football starts, and your days are definitely shorter.  While playing around the mountains this summer, I took a couple of pics during the sunset hour and I think this one reflects my mood perfectly.  It's time to say goodnight to long, sunny days and sizzling hot temperatures.  It's time to enjoy the sunset on summer.

 Don't be sad.  Just because summer is over doesn't mean it's time to park your bike. In fact... when you live in the south, autumn and winter are the best times to ride!

Have a great week everybody and... HAPPY LABOR DAY!

PIC OF THE WEEK - LIQUID THERAPY

I love listening to the sound of water moving trough a stream or small river.  The soft whooshing and spattering noise is like music for the ears, and therapy for the tired soul. I'm always capturing pictures of this peaceful medicine...

LIQUID THERAPY



These were all taken during one of our rest stops while riding up in the Smokey Mountain National Park.  One of my absolute favorite places on this earth!

Have a great week everybody!

PIC OF THE WEEK - SMOKEY MOUNTAIN VIEW

Harley and I have been to the Smokey mountains many times on the Glides and it is one of our favorite places to visit.  The coolness of the mountain air would embrace you as you rode along the twisty curvy asphalt and provide some of the most breathtaking scenery ever.  I was perusing through some of our old trip photos and realized I was getting a renewed excitement to revisit these beautiful old mountains.  Now that we have a Jeep, I'm ready to find some new "out of reach" places that need exploring.


SMOKEY MOUNTAIN VIEW
Somewhere in the Smokeys.

Beautiful view!

It only takes us about 3 to 4 hours to reach our Tennessee/North Carolina playground, and I realize it's up to us to tap into all that wilderness.  We've been toying with the idea of a camping trailer, but a nice quiet cabin up the the Smokey Mountains sounds kind of nice too. Hmmmm... decisions, decisions. I know I'm not a fortune teller, but I see some mountainy explorations in our future.

Have a great week everybody!
