ZZ Bush

ZZ Bush, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

I love the way this plants looks. The leaves are so glossy! The green really contrasts with the white wall behind it. The different angles that the stalks go are real nice against the wall as well. I love the glossy leaves that they have and they are very easy to take care of.

Bike Ride on Saturday Morning

On Saturday morning we rode the MCT trail system as the GORC mountain bike trails were very wet and muddy. We started our ride at 7.45am and made a 20 mile loop tarting at New Poag road and riding do to I255 and then back to our starting point. Total ride time was about 1.40 minutes.

We rode the Orange trail south to the MCT Bluff trail, then back to MCT Nature Orange Trail, connected to the Schoolhouse Red trail back to the Goshen trail north to the Watershed Blue to our parking area.

It was a besutiful morning and i cannot wait to go and do it this week at the regular GORC/SIUE ride at 6pm on Thursday evening.

I love the background on this photo. The blur was really done well. The flower very delicate, is in focus and the butterfly is not in full focus.
