Rails to trails ?

Heidi68 replies on Sep 1, 2019:

@Moravian I hate riding on the roads..... did it today for 6 miles and the cars here are just rude (well the drivers).

Trying to get it right.

lerlo comments on Sep 1, 2019:

Heidi68 replies on Sep 1, 2019:

Hmmmm you know how to make deviled eggs? Good to know 🤔😀😀😀

Careful gardening

JackPedigo comments on Sep 1, 2019:

And whatever you do do not water them.

Heidi68 replies on Sep 1, 2019:

Too bad about Rocky Top. Stunned 38-30 by Georgia State?

Heidi68 comments on Sep 1, 2019:

I am 'betting' there are some happy (unhappy) people in Vegas! 🤣

Heidi68 replies on Sep 1, 2019:

@GuyKeith that is why I also put the (unhappy) in there 😁 for the ones that have to pay up 🤣🤣

Part 3 These are my favorites from today.

MsHoliday comments on Aug 31, 2019:

Ohh, love these shots, especially the barn quilt. We have a barn quilt trail in southern Ontario, a load of fun day-tripping looking for the barn quilts and quaint little towns to shop and eat.

Heidi68 replies on Sep 1, 2019:

That sounds fun!

Moravian comments on Sep 1, 2019:

Rails to trails ?

Heidi68 replies on Sep 1, 2019:

Old abandoned railways which they have turned into walking, biking and in some cases horse riding trails. They are fairly flat which is what I like.

TrailRider comments on Aug 31, 2019:

Wow! You have some great rides in NC. Rails to trails is awesome. 20.50 is pretty awesome too.

You have some wonderful bike rides! I do really like the old barn.

Heidi68 replies on Aug 31, 2019:

It was sooo much better in real life. Maybe I will go back & try to get a better shot of it.

Part 3 These are my favorites from today.

Lincoln55 comments on Aug 31, 2019:

My favorites too. Reminds me of Ellijay, NC

Heidi68 replies on Aug 31, 2019:

It was really pretty & the people I spoke to were very nice. But I was a touch worried stopping in the middle of 2-lane curvy, hilly, country roads to get these shots.

Part 2 cycling in Todd, NC There were wild flowers everywhere - my lavender & purple flower shots ...

Lincoln55 comments on Aug 31, 2019:

Wow, you weren't that far from Boone. Many years ago i would go up there to visit a sweetie that attended ASU. Nice country. You get around. New River?

Heidi68 replies on Aug 31, 2019:

I think Wikipedia said it was the South Fork of the New River It was a little less than an hour drive to get there from my house.

Nice 'Slices of Life'. Did the pup get a good scratch? I love #3. A little Photoshop and you've got yourself a calendar page. Hmmm, maybe September.

Heidi68 replies on Aug 31, 2019:

Yes she did - the owner was a bit worried cause she was dripping wet and kept coming back to me for more scratches 😀 Yeah, maybe Sept I will go back with my real camera & see if I can get some changing colors 😁

Heidi68 comments on Aug 30, 2019:

Very nice. I may get up early tomorrow & go cycling between Todd & West Jefferson - maybe I will get a nice shot. (Maybe - I have been working overnights so my sleep pattern is messed up).

Heidi68 replies on Aug 31, 2019:

@Lincoln55 thank you and that is exactly how I feel. Not necessarily about places I have been. Your photos make me feel like I can reach through and chat with the people or dance with the children. That is what it is about for me. Do I want be in that situation, do I want to go there, do I want to laugh (or cry) that is what photography is about.

Oooh! fabulous shots. i love the way you used light on #2

Heidi68 replies on Aug 30, 2019:

That is my favorite also. It was also the hardest to get - part would be blurry, flash wouldn't go off, grass was too tall (and wet).... almost gave up

Picky picky picky.... either 100 with or zero without? 🤣🤣

CommonHuman comments on Aug 27, 2019:

It is a solution looking for a problem. Voter fraud isn't an issue, however, barriers to being able to vote is an issue. Given that voting is the bedrock of democracy the barriers to voting are a very real and present threat to this country. This causes waaay more issues than 'solves'.

Yes, @Lincoln55 please tell us which mountains - I am pretty sure we can rule out Blue Ridge / Appalachian mountains

I will admit this might be a pick too finicky, but I really do not want to date a man who is smaller...

JackPedigo comments on Aug 25, 2019:

The size is an interesting thing. All of my relationships have been with women a bit or much shorter than I. I know of couple where the woman is shorter than the man and they seem happy. I think one should keep an open mind about this but definitely not about the religious aspect. It is simply too ...

Heidi68 replies on Aug 26, 2019:

@JackPedigo no it was shorter men not interested in a taller woman.

Heidi68 replies on Aug 26, 2019:

@JackPedigo it is not shallow thinking if you are the one being treated that way your entire life and all of a sudden short older men seem to think it is shallow for tall older women to want a taller man.

Right about now...

Heidi68 replies on Aug 25, 2019:

@JackPedigo we may not live in cave man days but you can't change what has been beat into women's heads for generations. Is it getting better for younger women? Absolutely but there are quite a few who still feel a man should be taller. And it was not just mothers or magazines but men & boys who treated (treat) taller women different. I have quite a few shorter female friends who are treated quite different than I am because of their size. Not to mention, boys tend to not ask taller girls out, to dances, etc which lends to perception.

Heidi68 replies on Aug 25, 2019:

I think that is the point - she is taller than he is. I do not like to date guys shorter than myself - call it society has beat it in our brains that men must be stronger/ bigger than us or whatever but I am more comfortable with someone at least a bit taller than I am. I have gone out with shorter guys but prefer not to.

@MojoDave the difference is this about laughs, just because you do not find it funny does not mean it is not funny. Posting nudes is not a joke it is meant for a specific group. I do NOT scroll past your nonsense because YOU are trying to control what I find amusing. I am not trying to control what you laugh at. And exactly when did comedy become politically correct?

This should go in the Trump group. Some come here to get away from the political chaos.

Heidi68 replies on Aug 24, 2019:

@MojoDave there is no escaping politics. It affects every single aspect of our lives. From eating & breathing, healthcare & wages, what we can build, where we can do certain things, and even to laughter. I consistently scroll past 'jokes' that I do not appreciate - should I tell them that their joke is not appropriate because it is sexist and they should put it in some other group? Personally I would like to get away from all sexist issues but I know that I can't so I just scroll on til I find something that I find funny.
