Hair on Fire

"Hair on Fire" Qibao, China

Sometimes a motorcycle ride can put your hair on fire. This woman certainly is a portrait of that image. But when we think of our "hair on fire" on the back of a motorcycle, we have visions of going fast on some mean, screaming machine with a real "need for speed."

This is a man and woman are riding solely for transportation in the streets of Qibao, China, outside of Shanghai. The "hair on fire" of this woman is not from a fast, exciting motorcycle ride but rather just a by-product of a bad hair day at the stylist.

Have you ever had a bad hair day?

Cheers,
Dale

Mellow Yellow

"Mellow Yellow Bicycle"

I was walking down the street in the city one day and spotted this bicycle. It was this cool yellow, painted with beautiful accents and had a rear wheel cover.

The bicycle was lovely, though not the type for a long bike ride or road race, but rather for a quiet ride through the neighborhood to a friend's house for a glass of iced tea and cookies. Of course, on a sunny summer day with a cool breeze.

I think I will go get some iced tea and cookies and dream of riding through the neighborhood on a bike like this.

What do you like to do on a sunny summer day?

Cheers,

Dale

More In Flight

Mt. Hood, Oregon

Mt. Hood in Oregon is a stunning sight. I was fortunate to be leaving Portland on business one day and got this view of the mountain out my flight window.

I used to work in a high rise building in Portland years ago and had an office that looked to the east. On clear mornings, the sun would rise in the background of Mt. Hood. In the evenings, the orange sunsets would glow off of the snow cap. It was always an extraordinary sight.

I am so glad I got a window seat this day to catch this view of the mountain and spark memories of all the previous times I have seen Mt. Hood.

What is one of your favorite sights or views that evokes special memories or beauty?

Cheers,
Dale
