Flowers found on Sundays bike ride

I am suppose to be talking about mountain biking, and today I wanted to show some of the colors of flowers that can still be found this time of year. I did a leisure hour and half ride with several climbs on the forest service road behind my house. It was a pleasant 15 mile ride.

I was told these berries were poisonous
I thought this was an interesting plant showing all of its steps of maturing
There were hundreds of these yellow flowers along the sides of the road. only a few of the white ones
few of these were found
mixture of yellow and white
very small blue flower
purple ones on stems
not a flower-but a mushroom
pink ones mixed with yellows
lots of berries to find

As I ponder the reason for my love of biking I think of what Joel B. Braunstein MD. wrote:

Exercise

isn't akin to a household chore that "needs to be done;" it's a special,

privileged time in

which you can relect

upon all of life's

other pleasures while

you take part in an

activity that is

strengthening both

your body and your

mind.

This is one of the many reasons I ride!
