Leisurely 10 km Bike Ride

It's 4/18, a beautiful spring Sunday and we've decided to go exploring on our bikes today. There's a pink dogwood in front of a townhouse near our building, as we head for the Main gate. It would be closer to go out the North gate, but it's closed on Sundays.


We're making a sharp right turn outside the Main gate so we can ride along the fence. Look at these pretty flowers at Sugita, the local auto insurance office.


Thanks Steph! She told me they are Leucojum aestivum - White Bell Flower. Perfect!

Red dwarf Japanese maple.


Looking across a field to a building on the "new" road. Looks like it's closed today. Most businesses have the metal rolling doors, so it's easy to tell.


Interesting billboard on top - above a tailor shop, maybe?
