The Blue and the Belle by maggiemae

The Blue and the Belle

It was hot and windy today but Ruby, my wonderful electric bike sailed me downwind (22kmh) and enabled 18km/hr upwind and uphill!. I went down the main highway looking for the ducks that had settled under old oaks right by the busy highway. Found them and a few more, but I am sure they can fly out of there.

Three good things:
1.Can’t believe the support I have had on FB as well as 365 with my newly published book! It makes the lack of comments from my sisters so not important!
2. More ducks on my way home but settled with this photo of bluebells in the nearby Public Gardens! On looking at these on the computer, I can see white bluebells - is that possible?
3. Only 4 more sleeps till the Road Trip - NZ, certainly not Aussie or USA but some wonderful wild scenery planned!
Beautiful blues. Enjoy spring!

Beautiful flowers and I think there are white ones too. Lucky you have an e bike. I rode home yesterday, up hill, head wind all the way.
Good luck for your road trip.

@deliad Yes, that bike, Delia makes bicycling so easy! You can go anywhere!

Our garden is full of white bells, they seem to have taken over from the blue bells. It does seem funny seeing photos of bluebells I must say but they look wonderful......lucky you to be going into spring! A road trip sounds exciting....have you planned where you are going or just letting the wind take you where it will?

@happypat We have planned the destinations but haven't booked accommodation. I like to go and stay places where there are old hotels.

Simply lovely - your photo looks dreamy and romantic. We have whitebells in the UK too. Fav.

Thats the way to cycle, with a little help. Spring is definitely with you with these bluebells and whitebells

@kelly2 Yes, Irene - imagine biking easily up a hill with a 30km headwind!

I love bluebells and this is a gorgeous picture of them. I have whitebells and pinkbells in my garden. I posted a picture or the whitebells in May. Here is the link if you would like to see them http://365project.org/shirleybankfarm/365/2015-05-19

It does seem a bit funny to see spring flowers, while we are gathering chestnuts and beech nuts. I like the picture. Enjoy your road trip!

This is gorgeous, and I can totally see why you chose it over the ducks! Definite FAV....and, yes, it appears that there are white bluebells (is that an oxymoron?) in the background! That road trip sounds glorious....I would love to see NZ like that someday!

What a beautiful sight. Haven't heard you mention Ruby for a while. Glad you're out riding her again.
October 7th, 2015  
@skstein It was so cold out there for a while (nose, fingers and toes got so cold) that I didn't have the inclination even with merino protection!
October 7th, 2015  
Love this mixture of blue, green and white!

Beautiful. I've not been browsing too much recently, so it's quite a shock (and a pleasure!) to be transported to an entirely different season as depictedin this photo. We're just getting cooler (thank-goodness) and leaves are changing.
