Sleepy Hollow — Attack of the Ladybugs — Another Photo Essay

Diane Ursu — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:06:14 +0000

This is part two of Sleepy Hollow — Attack of the Squirrels.

Ladybugs have a nasty habit of getting stuck in your jersey and helmet. Ick.

I met with Greg Cook at Sleepy Hollow State Park the day after the squirrel attacks (October 21). We did a nice road ride on some of the surrounding country roads. I am really glad that Greg had his cross tires on his bike, because he was pushing me hard. Apparently, I was also pushing him. Now, if we would’ve talked about how we were feeling, perhaps we would’ve slowed down, but I highly doubt it. That just does happen when you ride with other people.

The following is a photo essay of Sleepy Hollow State Park.

Shepardsville Road.

Yesterday marked the beginning of the 2009 UPCROSS season at the River Park BMX Track in Marquette. I had the pleasure of being a spectator with a camera. The following is a quick photo essay of yesterday’s race.

Due to the number of photos taken, the time and monetary cost of this web site, and the requests I’ve had for photos, I have uploaded the complete photo set to my SmugMug account. Purchasing a photo helps to support this site.

Mom’s Yard – A Photo Essay

While I was downstate for the Midwest Mountain Bike Summit, I spent some time at my parents’ house. I also spent some time playing with their camera. Nature photography is my favorite. I love flowers and I love clouds. I also have fun putting an interesting spin on my subjects. Here are some of the photos I took, that week.

Pure Michigan Winter Photo Contest 2009

It’s funny how a perfectly mundane task can make your day. I checked my email, as I do several times per day, and found that I received a Pure Michigan Photo Contest email regarding the top 25 entries for the Winter Photo Contest. The interesting thing is that I don’t normally get these unsolicited emails because I guard my personal email account for dear life. I couldn’t understand why this was being sent to me, so I decided to click on a link and see what was going on.

Imagine my surprise when I found not one, not two, but THREE of my photos in the top 25! I really don’t think they’re my best work, but someone out there appreciated them enough to submit them on my behalf. You see, I didn’t enter this contest, but someone who knows me, and who has my email address, entered my photos.

So, you’re probably wondering which photos were entered? Here they are:
