They say red brightens a picture.
Walking a busy bike path is disconcerting. People, bikes, skaters and skateboards advancing swiftly from from behind, passing and the zooming off in front of you.
We crossed the border into Victoria cruising down a lovely timbered road before breaking into the rich dairy country of Gippsland. It is wonderful to see the land green after more than 10 years of very dry weather. But most of the state of Victoria is still drought declared.

The Pasture by Robert Frost
"I'm going out to clean the pasture spring;
I'll only stop to rake the leaves away
(And wait to watch the water clear, I may):
I sha'n't be gone long. You come too.
I'm going out to fetch the little calf
That's standing by the mother. It's so young,
It totters when she licks it with her tongue.
I sha'n't be gone long. You come too."

It does! Some path uses are not very thoughtful, careful, respectful or polite.
ReplyDeleteWhen I am riding my bike I am not so much inconsiderate as incapable
DeleteWhen I am walking, I have only just leaned NOT to step off the made pathway to allow people walking abreast to continue as they were.
ReplyDeleteThe red here is great.
The red is always an eye grabber.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a bit sad how pathway manners are sometimes lacking. I sometimes do the same as Julie, but not always - some folk are just plain aggressive (only some fortunately) :D)
