20120226 - Croc II - The Revenge

What a dull grey day!! I had the idea of cycling to Birdforth as there's a little church there that looks great when the sun's shining.
But the sun wasn't shining. So all I got for my 60.75 miles of cycling is this - and achey thighs.

So nicely done. The grey seemed to cast a pall over everything, so to pull this one out, is a job well done indeed.
That must have been a 'good' ride...there was a bit of a breeze up. You hero!

That's nearly 100km...and it was a grey day too. I like your end result...not the aches...the flower macro

Very impressive miles! How long did it take you?
A simply wonderful macro shot.

Lovely shot ...... 60.75 miles is a long way! I'm sure there is a crocus closer than that ...!

I do like the croc shot very soft and diffused.

Great work with the 60 miles, I have done the in my twenties and thirties a long time ago.
Are you thirty ish now ?
Well done you put us all to shame great cycling.

A beautiful delicate macro. And think how fit you must be.

It's beautiful!

60+ miles! on a bike!!! I'd pack an overnight bag if I was going that far in the car :0)
It is a superbly tasteful croc, even if it is taking its revenge.
Stephanie26-Feb-2012 19:47
Oh stop it!!! You didn't really cycle 60 miles today, did you? WOW!
Lovely capture Phillip! :)
Johnny JAG26-Feb-2012 19:44
I'd go 60 miles for that!
Bill Miller26-Feb-2012 19:42
