Megan, Levi, and I went on a (I don't suppose you could call it short ) bike ride today out to a lake that's near us called Lake Anna. While it took a good bit to get there, it was mostly all smooth riding without any big hills or anything to go up.

We really had fun, though Megan and I are a bit wore out after all that pedaling.. LOL!

The lake really made for some good pictures (though by looking at them on the camera I wasn't sure if they had turned out!) and I thought the picture of the water and rocks looked pretty neat!

It is a bit challenging to, while riding my bike, to get my camera out of the camera bag (which is in the camera bag carrier basket attatched to the front of my bike), stay on the road, put the camera strap around my neck, open the LCD screen that I have flipped in the other way, take off the lens cap and attach it to the camera strap, then…..(I do hope I'm not boring you with this lengthy explanation!) turn on the camera, change the shutter speed, and snap the picture. All the while driving with one hand… or occasionally, no hands!

Anyhow, back to the pictures!

The water made a wonderful background for group/profile pictures! I thought it looked really nice! Well, just so long as you didn't fall backwards and land in the water, I suppose… which I almost did a time or two (where Megan and I are standing in our picture, we were on a concrete slope, [note the first picture with Levi] standing right at the bottom by the water).

Oh yes, and we even got to see a bald eagle! I tried to snap a shot of him while he was flying, but it didn't turn out so well since he didn't give me much time to change the shutter speed! Oh well, at least you can somewhat see what he looked like!

Oooh, and chicory! You know I have to get pictures of flowers if we stop near any.. LOL!! Well, I hope you enjoyed this little glimpse into our day!
