Gorgeous morning for a bike ride, and they were out in the hundreds for the 2011 Grays Chapel Lions Club, Tour de Lions. I’ll be posting more images next week.

They say you have to make hay when the sun shines. Here in Grays Chapel, North Carolina, it hasn’t shone much in the past couple of weeks. It did today, and my neighbor Mark Sexton was in the field hard at work.

It was surreal as the woods around Denton Farm Park sounded alive with their drone. Thought for a moment I was in the Twilight Zone.
