my place along the river

for the past two sundays (maybe more, i can't remember) i've taken a bike ride along the river. i take a pack of water, a good book (i just finished 'gilead' and just started 'franny and zoey'), some lip balm, cellphone and ipod (call me a material girl if you want), and journal. thus, i am ready for the two+ hours i spend relaxing, reading, and trying to pet the local ducks. they aren't having any of it so far....

i finally decided to capture "my place" along the river because i want to remember it. forever. and i know that such special moments and places should be remembered regardless of having evidence of them on a memory card, but someday maybe a few years later or maybe fifty i'll be glad to have these pictures.
