Down on the south side of the bike trail, just north of Promontory Point, there’s this wonderfully large sculpture along side the lake. Constructed of steel tubing and plastic water bottles! Fits in perfectly with the moody misty morning sky.

And ready for a patriotic Fourth of July today… the City is definitely ready!!!

It feels great to be home. It was a long stint in Dover, Delaware. The concerts were great. The music festivals were a success. But still… my own bed is wonderful. My own shower. My own kitchen. It feels great to be back home and back on my “real” bike. A bike that is NOT covered with mud!!! Unfortunately, the misty cloudy sunrise seems to have followed me home?!

When I finally returned home from Dover, I was “greeted” by an amazing assortment of flowers blooming in my garden. Kind of a surprise since I hadn’t seen them growing for the past month… and now this seemingly “sudden” explosion of colors!!!

Totally gray this morning… misty, foggy and a little depressing during low tide.
Not really how I had hoped my last Dover sunrise ride would turn out.
After so many stunning morning sky shows… this is not one of them!!!

One last morning with the horseshoe crabs. I flipped several of them back over… and could see signs that some of them may have been a bit frisky overnight with signs of their “dance” still in the sand.

Leaving Pickering Beach, it was even darker & mistier than when I got there.
Moody. Misty. Morning.

As I was pedaling back to the hotel, I found it oddly coincidental that the signs were all there…
guess it’s really time for my Dover adventure to come to an end. It’s been a great run… a lot of work, a lot of fun, a lot of mud. But the concerts are over, the last of the trucks is being packed today and we’re all ready to head back home!
