How do I reward myself on a gorgeous mid-Spring afternoon after a busy morning?
With a bike ride, of course!
I did another one of my aimless wanders along Queens and Brooklyn streets. I felt no need to ride to any particular place; I simply wanted to fill myself with the light and air of this season, and to stimulate my senses in as many ways as I could in a couple of hours.
Early in my ride, I wended along the paths by the Long Island City piers, a.k.a. Gantry State Park. I don't know who does the gardening there, but whoever they are, they're outdoing themselves every season, every year.
OK, if you've been reading this blog for a while--or if you just look at the pictures of my bikes--you know what colors I like best. I could look at any and all purple flowers--lilacs, wisteria blooms, asters--all day. But I really like the way the gardeners used the different shapes and heights of the blooms to make a chorus of purple.
Ah, the rewards of cycling!
