SURPRISE!
Here's a DAISY WALLPAPER! ❁
Wasn't on your agenda today, was it, to stumble across a daisy wallpaper?
What a monument to nature, peace and the tenacity of the wildflower, and all that.

Were my server not... in America, I may have the upload speed to supply a higher resolution of this image, however, yeah, nah. 1080p is God's chosen resolution for speed and efficiency so that's where we're at.

"There's a WHAT behind the trailer?"
----------
My landlord told me there was a creek about 1/4 of a mile behind the property and a trail that went all through the woods, at a peak of property lines owned by 3-4 different people and the state, collectively creating a general no-man's land of "forest" that no one really claims, but those able, curious or interested, wander around in, drive 4x4's through and, as I have, "vibe".

Areas like this exist all over North Carolina and it was common where I grew up for older folk to own a few acres of property, but then ignore the entire back half of it like it isn't there. That's all well and good, curious people, weird folk and kids on journeys to find themselves make good use of these areas throughout their lives.

The first four photos are of the creek area I found, actually, what part of it I walked... because there's actually far more I didn't have time or energy to deal with today, but I did walk a fair half mile of it.

You know, if a guy wanted to take a tent out there and go camping, he might just enjoy that. Hm... that's a fun thought.

Someone aught to do that.

Highpoint Lake Rematch* and The Busted Heel
----------
Yesterday night at work, I grabbed my toolbox to put it up and ran over the back of the heel of my foot. That night, I fantasized about the next morning, this past Thursday, a sunny, slightly-hazy spring day, where I could venture to places at the HighPoint lake trail I had missed previously... after being at work for 10 hours, awake for 14 hours, with a busted up heel. I am a stubborn person.
Even so, some part of me is entirely unaware that it's early spring and that there really isn't much in the way of things to take photos of at the moment other than fisherman taking advantage of the weather-changes as fish move from place to place, but even without a camera, I'd still be hiking, and there were a few good shots here and there... but really, I didn't consider this much of a win day photo-wise, I just had fun hiking lol. ow... yeah, my heel hurts.

I think this area will be a lot better in the mid-fall or late spring when flowers are everywhere, or possibly when it gets damp for mushroom hunting. There are deer here, although I'm not skilled enough, nor do I have the lens (you camera guys know "the lens") to get a deer reliably but there were a few running around.

For now, at least as far as hiking photos go, I need to let Spring bake a bit. There are some local targets to go after around my house tomorrow to get. Apparently our neighbor has a HUUUUGE redbud tree in their front yard that just bloomed all-magenta.

Next "big" trip will be Natural Bridge, but it's going to be an overnight stay at least and require some planning. I'm pushing the lighthouse trip off until late summer. With the war going on, I need to be conservative on money for my own safety for now.

Natural Bridge will also be an exercise in timing. Would you want to go with 200 tourists photo-bombing your shots every five seconds? lol, off-season or bust, yo. I gotta get it done before Spring Break at least.

Another one-off or two before Saturday, I'm taking my mom out to eat tomorrow and it'll be pretty tomorrow too and I'm sure I'll see something to hit the brakes for. Cya!

This photo was sent to me via text.
It's from my friend, Jeff, whom I originally met off of Mastodon, back in 2022. We met in person in 2023 & exchanged plants🪴We've stayed friends over the years. We are working towards similar community building goals, in separate areas of the island. Ideally, would love to have a full food security, localized food systems 'spine', running West-East/South-North, across #VancouverIsland.
Jeff lives up island with his wife & kids. He also works in #nonprofit #FoodSecurity & #environmental #stewardship. He works for #Greenways #LandTrust in #CampbellRiver :

This shows some of the work they've done at Maple Park Community Garden in partnership with #Strathcona Regional District. They acquired that land to steward/grow, earlier this year 💚👩‍🌾👨‍🌾👏

A great piece by Ella McSweeney on the campaign to make local rural roads into 'Rothar Roads,' accessible for all. ❤️

"These roads are essentially natural greenways with hedgerows overflowing with wildflowers which we can see and experience in a different way."

Farmers want a slice of agri-tourism. Build greenways along all road frontage, open cafes and B&Bs, welcome the active tourists https://www.independent.ie/farming/comment/hannah-quinn-mulligan-time-farmers-got-a-slice-of-the-agri-tourism-pie/a1471683616.html

Excellent #rothar news for Dublin! The re-vamped Royal Canal Greenway between North Strand (Newcomen Bridge) and Phibsboro (Cross Guns Bridge) will be officially opened on 26 September! 🥳

Thanks to everybody who supported my #Interrail trip to the #DH2025 conference in #Lisbon, #Portugal.

I have good news: Yesterday, on the train to #Madrid I met #bicycle activists. Easily recognizable by t-shirts with #Pedallibre or similar. These guys really know about #trafficpolitics. They assured me that the fast speed #train #Madrid-#Lisbon will come 2030 for the football WC. #greenways

There won't be real active travel infrastructure until EU farm grants start being linked to green farming and green action - making it profitable for farmers to give a strip of roadside land to make greenways and pathways. Which in themselves will bring profit to landowners who are proactive about opening farm shops, cafes, etc

Houston-area officials on Wednesday broke ground on a $6.6 million construction project that will create and improve more than 4 miles of trail along the Brays Bayou Greenway.

Hey #BikeTooter don't do these things on multi-use paths. Y'all know how scary car and truck drivers are when they do the same thing to #bicyclists .

The Farmington Canal Heritage Trail used to be the noisy New Haven & Northampton Railroad. Now, it’s a quiet 132-kilometer interstate mixed-use trail. I took my e-bike out for one last ride before winter. Of course, it looks like Kinsmen Brewing in Southington decided to get on the trail, too.

This week's video shows one of the best bicycle boulevards we have filmed so far. Bethune Street in Peterborough, Ontario includes traffic diverters, a bicycle signal light, new trees, planters, benches and two multi-use pathway connections. #biketooter #bikePtbo #Ptbo #greenways #trafficcalming #cycling

After coffee, everyone else headed home and I hopped on the greenway for a quick loop. #BikeTooter #Greenways

On Monday, I made the following submission to Waterways Ireland in response to their public consultation on its draft bye-laws:

This little greenway segment is my favorite! Without it? Getting past this ginormous interstate that divides Nashville involves a lot of steep hills & impatient traffic. The railing is there because it’s a steep drop down to some railroad tracks. (440 Greenway, Nashville) https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cxiq63bO9UL/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== #BikeTooter #greenways

I looked at today’s forecast earlier this week and I put a big time block on our family calendar that said “Really long bike ride because the weather is going to be beautiful.” No one asked any questions, so that’s how we ended up going on a 37 mile bike ride today 🚲😂 (Germantown - Shelby Bottoms - Two Rivers Greenway - Percy Priest Dam) #BikeTooter #greenways
