It was a dark and stormy night ... ... okay, no it wasn't. It was actually a semi-clear night in that the day time clouds dispersed as the afternoon turned to evening.  In fact, it was a full moon in North America and a red eclipse in other parts of the world. Mars was the closest it had been to Earth in nearly two decades and shone bright red in the sky just and hand's width from the moon. And we were riding. For years our local riding group had a summertime "moonlight" ride up Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park.

Some friends of mine came to town this August and I had a chance to go riding with them while they were here. Steve and Sash are a married couple who divested themselves of all their belongings and hit the rode.

I didn't take a lot of pictures while they were in town but these are a few I was able to grab. The first image is of South Park County, Colorado from Kenosha Pass. Then Sash's Vstar 650, my SV and a picture of Steve and Sash.

For the past 14 years my motorcycle club has ridden in the Denver St. Patrick's Day parade. These are some of the Android shots I took today. There are many more dSLR shots to come, but these were quick and easy to edit using Snapseed.
