<\/a><\/p>\nLast Tuesday I took a new route\/road on the bike.
\nThe way the corn rows appeared in the distance\u00a0gave me a good excuse to stop and hydrate;
\nas well as pull out the Leica M8, 40 mm Summicron with B+W 93 Infrared filter.<\/p>\n
I keep dragging my journal along on these little cycling jaunts; Yet the Leica M Monochrom and 50 mm Summilux Asph also came out of the bag Quiet sounds of water passing through rocks, the occasional fish jumping for insects, Thursday’s ride to Grafton had me stopping to photograph the Cedarburg Fire Department Fountain. As well as a view of the Bike Path Bridge from the East side of the Milwaukee River. Saturday had me back at Cedar Creek Park to check out the Wisconsin Women Cycling Event.

\nthinking I’ll stop ant catch up on their pages; or do a little drawing along with the photography.
\nThough the journal\u00a0has never come out of the bag; until last Wednesday.
\nI took it out of the bag and sat on a\u00a0chiseled stone bench near the Milwaukee River,
\nin the courtyard of a church, in Cedarburg.
\nAnd while I journaled I saw other photographs to make.
\nBut I didn’t make them. Seems like either \/ or. One or the other gets slighted.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\njust to record the sunlight, falling through the trees, on to the journal.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nchildren and people in the distance, ducks quacking and preening.
\nRemarkably complex combinations of smells.<\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a>\u00a0Nature’s call had me up and heading for the public restroom at Cedar Creek Park.
\nHere the water offers more intense sounds as it falls a bit while\u00a0winding through the park.
\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a>This gentleman had more than a little to say about the fishing here. Past. And current.
\nApparently you can still catch some good sized Rock Bass. Though not “like it was.”<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nA little boy told me I should photograph it on Wednesday. Though it was dry and not running.<\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n
\nThese last three with the Leica M Monochrom and 50 mm Summilux Asph<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nHauled the Leica M, along with Monochrome and M8\/IR;
\nas I expected to see hundreds of bright colored jerseys; and all kinds of bikes.
\nThough at 3:30 in the afternoon there was not much to see; at all.
\nThere were a few of us with bikes in the park.
\nThough none of the 100+ “women cyclists” who staged\u00a0there for the ride\u00a0to Holy Hill; earlier in the day.
\nThey hired The Rhythm Kings to play for the [non existent] crowds. I enjoyed the music for one set.
\nBought and ate a spinach, egg and feta crepe; and 4 dark chocolate turtles for Ann.
\nMade some photographs; and headed back home.<\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>Tak’n a break.
\n<\/a>The Crowd
\n<\/a>
\nSunday morning I drove to\u00a0Pewaukee
\nto make some Architectural Photographs\u00a0for a Real Estate Management Company.
\nBetween AM East Side photography and PM West Side photography I hung out at the Lake.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>
\nThen\u00a0rode the bike trail around the lake. Killer hills; at least for these old legs, lungs and heart.
\nLooking at 15 miles around the lake. I made it out 5 miles and turned around. Still had work to do.<\/p>\n<\/a>
