Tweed Ride - Fall 2010 Photos -- Enjoy!

Tweed Ride! Oh, My....

A good number of Tweed Rides occurred during October and November -- here are photos from some of those rides. They come from quite a range of places and as viewed through the eyes of some very fine photographers. Who says you can't ride a bicycle and wield a camera too!

Enjoy!

Further thoughts on this particular offering of Tweed Ride photos-- I'm just so smitten with everyone's talents. Really Philadelphia has more than it's fair share represented here, just check out their group flickr pool of no less than 10 contributors to that one ride alone.

Also much heartfelt thanks to everyone who so quickly and enthusiastically offered up their photos!

And as a final thought-- you dear reader, really owe it to your self to go visit each of the links to see many, many more fine photos from that particular photographer and/or from that Ride.

There are more photos of more rides I want to share with you. Hmmh, I'm still working on catching up. More photos to come next week (or so) that is when I return from some travels I'm off on.

Essence of Fall

fall essence bicycle photo by ridingpretty

Admittedly my love of capes continues on into this year- though with more of an Indian motif or serape feel.

I included the closeup (of my most current favorite shoes) - Frankly, hopefully you won't let any serape fringe get caught in your bicycle spokes! I always make sure to wrap it up around me when I bicycle...but for these photos I took liberty and let my serape cape drape down.

All most everything has been thrifted (including my serape, bicycle market basket, white top, military jacket, black strawberry necklace) the exceptions being the clogs and cuffed jeggings. On the front of my bicycle is my DIY (thrifted) wine style crate - I did this instead of using the traditional wicker basket.

Here's to Enjoying your own Fall Essence!
