Gary Jackson: Fire When Ready Pottery
A Chicago potter’s somewhat slanted view of clay & play
Categories: bike, Chicago, seasons

Today’s warm temps were too seductive and I just “had to” go out for a bike ride. Today’s big melt also creates some big puddles. It may not have been my “cleanest” ride ever, but it was well worth the clean-up that my bike now needs from all the puddle-splatter!

And our version of a Chicago Iceberg!!!

At some point around the Lake Shore Drive S-Curve, the bike path is still closed off as “impassable.” Sure, you could continue on very carefully… if I wanted to carry my bike. But I though it was a clear warning, and a good reason to turn around to head home.

Back closer to home, some of the grassy fields were covered with puddles… err, ponds…
which all created wonderful reflections. Mushy. Squishy. Muddy. Well worth the photo stop… and now my bike shoes need to be cleaned too!!!
