Wildflower Ride

Post by taosports »

Took a ride out Mines/San Antonio Valley Road (near Livermore, CA) today. The road is a favorite among SF Bay area motorcyclists.

Hope you enjoy the photos!

Despite the overcast skies for most of the afternoon, the wildflowers were out in full bloom, carpeting the pastures with color

And finally, these horses seemed more impressed by my R than the flowers

Beautiful pics. Your bike looks very clean.

I am very jealous, because it snowed here today.

Every time I ride that road I'm amazed that it's not completely developed. It is just to close to the Bay Area to survive.

Nice pics. Maybe the horses thought you had apples or carrots in
your cases. Great shot.

Hi there,

The wildflowers are fabulous this year in NorCal, a benefit of all this rain. Nice job of capturing them.

Thanks,

Kurt
