On the way to the bridge I rode past a long line of trees and sidewalk between Delta Park (the race track) and the Expo Center. This is a long expanse of road and sidewalk where almost no one walks.
As I rode along, I head a bird angerly chirriping at me. Suddenly, to my left, the bird puffed up, stood and attempted to scare me off. I could see she had a nest full of eggs, just sitting out in the open. On the way back, I stopped by and took these pictures.
While the area doesn't have much foot traffic, I don't think those eggs were long for this world. Much too much exposed.
I rode over the bridge, on the correct side this time, and through Vancouver. Esther Short Park is quite lovely and there is a huge brick Catholic Church to see too.
Kelly and I had a lovely egg and cheese bake/fruit salad/toast for breakfast and set off on our bikes. We rode through more neighborhood to get to the Discovery Trail which is a lovely urban trail. It was a beautiful day, and there weren't many people out. We rode for about two hours at a leisurely pace and the sun was so welcome.
It was a good ride back and the next day I was exhausted. But pleasantly so.
You are so amazing! I love that you do all of this wonderful cycling! So cool!!! I was always impressed when you would ride your bike to work at the liquor store - oh that was a fun summer!
ReplyDeleteI would have freaked about the bird...but it is too bad about the nest. What beautiful eggs though! -Sara
