Randy and I took a beautiful motorcycle ride last night. He drives and I ride on the back…didn’t want to mislead you into thinking we have two! Although it was hot during the day, because of the low humidity, the evening was chilly.
I told him I’d like to ride around and take some photos…so we rode for about two hours on country roads. I wasn’t able to get him to stop for some of the photo ops…it was tricky on the roads…also having to turn around too much.
Something I find interesting is that when other people are driving, I get a little nervous and am quite the back seat driver, but when we’re on the motorcycle I feel really comfortable. I feel a sense of freedom…and I tend to live more in the moment…experiencing the sights, sounds and sensations.
First we rode to a covered bridge that is shut down for repairs. I would’ve taken a photo of the front, but there was a big ugly sign on it stating that…so here’s a photo of the inside…
This barn caught my attention…love the blue!
I like old barns…
This was a cute homestead…
It was starting to get dark…
I thought you might enjoy this photo I captured the other morning of an owl in the backyard…
Anyway, we ended up riding to a bar called “Plain Folks” that’s located in Pleasant Plain, Ohio, and met our neighbor there. I didn’t take my camera in…but it’s a really cool place. It used to be a school house and last night was “open mic night”. Some really talented people sang and played guitars. Everything from “On the Cover of the Rolling Stones” to “Take a Load Off Fanny”. For being out in the middle of no-where, the clientele aren’t your typical “redneck” country folk.
We’re trying to get out and enjoy the weather before the rain starts Saturday!
