Riding yesterday along the Rincon in California a dead Gray Whale had washed up on the beach. The beach is closed right now for people because of Covid 19, however, open for dead whales. I was aware of the dead whale in advance from local TV coverage.

I bet the smell would make you aware of it also if you were in the vicinity.

An old Terex dozer at a gravel pit I passed on today's ride across the street.

Anybody know the purpose of these up-side-down red cups?
Dozens hanging per tree and around 25 trees. Each cup was coated with a sticky substance so maybe they act like fly paper? If so, it's working! Tons of gnats and other insects on each cup.

I believe it's to keep apple maggots off new apples. Those look like apple trees to me.

Thanks Ruffruff,
That makes sense. The trees are next to a local orchard and pumpkin garden.

I don't have a picture, but I was startled by one of those new fangled automatic self contained robot lawn mowers a day ago. It 'charged' towards me on the street only to turn as it came to the edge of the lawn. I had no idea what was happening there for a minute.

I got yelled at by the occupant of the trailer whilst taking this picture. I got one shot. You have this in your yard by the road. What do you expect???

Nice looking trail. I have two logs exactly like that on one of my rides. I haven’t gotten there yet. On a dirt bike I wouldn’t have thought twice about it, but I feel like I’m gonna bust my a55. Been trying to figure fast or slow...

Heres a laugh...my mate trying to cross a river in Wales, Im the idiot behind in white pants

I took this is the reserve a couple of weeks ago. After I took it I rode by them within about 5 feet. They casually walked in the direction away from me, and they were wary, but not afraid. Even with the little one.

I can't imagine walking up and shooting one.

I have heard that large Herons will go for eyes if threatened so I wouldn't doubt that it has happened. Caution should be used with any wild animal. There are reasons we don't let children and small dogs walk near the edge of any murky, fresh water in Florida. Except for the occasional Darwin Award winner that is...

At first I thought you caught a sight of the now extinct Dodo birds!
