Morning bike ride to the swamp
We’ve started a little tradition before the cycling season ends: morning rides of 25–40 kilometers.
Today, we decide to ride out to a swamp.
Every cyclist has to take photos of their bike!
This is how we ride:
There are lots of apples this year—
and in the villages,
and even in the forest.
We’re here.
The swamp isn’t very big, but it’s interesting to come here at different times of the year.
A cloudy morning in early September looks like this:
We’re overwhelmed by what we’re seeing!
A few years ago, some large trees were blown down in the forest. We go looking for the uprooted roots.
We pose for a photo to show the scale.
We’re just overflowing with emotion!
The Lakhva River flows nearby.
While we sit there having a snack, a spider manages to spin an entire web! And by the time I get around to taking a photo of it, it’s already eaten half the web. /|\\(◦.◦)/|\\
We pick up some corn along the way.
And once again, we’re way too excited!
An artifact from the past.
