Bits and pieces of my Kona bike because I am so bored! Good morning from sunny Las Vegas…

Droopy
My Mexican Fan Palms are scheduled for pruning July second and as you can see in the photos, they are due. Last week’s 90-degree temps appear to have made the fronds become very droopy. I’ve almost decided to have that messy African Sumac (weed) tree taken down too as it’s a constant battle with the dead leaf droppings daily. They are terrible, nasty trees!
Delicate Weeds
Or whatever they are, they remind me of wheat in the fields up north…
An Old Sunrise
These photos are about five years old and taken on the way to work one morning. I quit that job, not because of the job but because of very poor management. I won’t tolerate being talked at, through, or down to by a belligerent employer! This happens too often to people…
On The Border
Welcome home to Nevada! Some of you may be aware that a magnitude 6.5 earthquake rattle west-central Nevada around four AM this morning. I was sleeping and felt nothing, the epicentre was near Tonopah, Nevada which is a long way from Las Vegas. My home was not affected either, great news. I was awoken by my phone which was muted yet the vibrations from the phone woke me. My father and sister were calling from Michigan to find out if I am OK.
Lunch at Grape Street
Here are two iPhone photos from about as many years ago. The unfinished ceiling and tabletop were quite nice. This restaurant is located in Downtown Summerlin.
Fifteen Blades
This photo was taken at the now-dead Bonnie Springs Ranch. Grrr.
Shades Of Evening
Last eve there wasn’t much of a sunset so this is what I got. Not much! 😬
Duckery
More Quackery!
Here are more duck photos from yesterday, one of my favorite birds!
Waiting For The Green Light
As is today, the weather was perfect yesterday!
Babies
Continuing from yesterday with ducks at the lake aren’t these guys so sweet? 😊
Water
With the ducklings and duck parents nearby, I snapped these photos of the agitated water. Today has been seriously windy with gusts up to fifty miles per hour! Another Wind Storm…
Ducklings!
On the way back from the store I hopped out for a few duck photos and came upon these little sweeties! The little chirping sound they make is so adorable!
Warped
A unique building just off the Las Vegas Strip. How can it stand upright?
Cold Steel
Taken two or three years ago, this is the basket and chains on a Disc Golf course.
Way Down There
Twisted Linq
The Linq on the Las Vegas Strip, this photo was taken May 2019 under or near the Linq. The wheel rotates very slowly, remember this before getting into a pod as there are no toilets!
Get high on the High Roller
Quackers
These ducks were very noisy as they waddled quickly toward my truck apparently expecting something to eat. People, don’t feed them, especially bread! It has no nutritional value for them.
Cold Blue Sky
Here’s another sunset image from last eve feeling a bit blue this time.
Heading Into Night
This was the view late yesterday as the darkness approached.
Valley Life
A Splash of White
The Queens Ridge Condominiums towers with a splash of white on blue high above.
Late Afternoon in The Backyard
Just a couple very recent photos from today, it’s 93F with a wonderful breeze. 🥰🌴
Excalibur, A Different View
Digging through my archives has shown me that I flat out take too many photos! I could keep uploading old material for a long time without doubling up on them. Visit the website.
Flowers on My Walk
These have got to be wildflowers, why plant them on the edge of a sidewalk?
Colour or Black and White?
Or perhaps I should say Gray Scale? Here are some different photos of our famous sign on Las Vegas Boulevard. I must have about one hundred photos of this sign!
Rollin’ Me Down The Highway
Nevada Love, Desert Love! Two photos from a couple years ago. I called my dad up in Michigan this morning, haven’t talked with him for a week or so. We talked about many things including how the weather has been so cold and snowy for May, that’s just nuts!
I mentioned that I have considered moving back to Michigan at some point to which he replied that I have a wonderful climate here in Las Vegas, stay there! Yep, it’s damn nice dad! But dad, I did grow up with a snowmobile under my butt!! Fact is, I can’t tolerate the cold so well these days, I am a bit chilly when the temperature falls to the sixties! Better stay put eh?
The Bird on The Tine
I don’t recall where this photo was taken nor do I know what specie the bird is. But I did take the photo!! 😂 Do you know the specie?
A Crown of Clouds
At nearly 7000 feet, Gass Peak is wearing it’s cloudy crown well! I am northbound.
