This week is a training rest week. I tend to stretch the definition of "rest" week and sometimes get a little lazy. But that also keeps me from taking myself to seriously...and often it takes a whole week of not being serious to have an impact. So this morning I dropped Terry off at school and then headed to Ft Ord for an early morning ride. It was supposed to be a sprint workout--my favorite--but it didn't happen.

See, before I left the car I grabbed my little point and shoot camera and dropped it in the jersey pocket. And since I had it with me, I just had to use it. First I went to the fishing hole...

But I don't think there's been any fishies there for awhile. Then I cruised over to the old shooting range. No one has been shooting there for awhile either, but some pretty things grow there now...

Then I saw some art someone decided to add to the side of the building. Or at least someone thought it was art. Others likely have a different opinion...

And then there was an open door on the other side of the building. Why is it that you always look in an open door when passing by? Inside, light was streaming through a long-gone window...

All that to say I didn't really do my workout today. And I didn't mind at all.

A couple of these photos were edited with some photo-editing software called Color Efex Pro 3.0 by Nik Software. We are doing the 15-day free trial of it to see if it will be our Christmas present to ourselves.
