Even when training for a bike tour, there is still time to stop and small the roses - or in this case, the delicate pink flowers growing on a plant next to the bike path.

| Smells good! |
Ah! The aroma of melted sugar and the underlying bakery scents wafting across the road from a grocery store's kitchen. I could swear the I could small bacon and eggs as I passed one house on the eastern leg of my trip.

| One of my favorite trees |
When I see this tree I often stop to admire its symmetry - on closer inspection the branches are randomly placed yet seen from afar, their disorder turns to order. To me, there is something African in the shape of this deciduous splendor.

| An energizing snack of "Horse Chow" |
Stopping in the scenic river valley near the paddle wheeler, I pulled out what I call "Horse Chow" which is simply oatmeal, oil, lemon juice and raisins. This recipe was created by
Scott Nearing and after working up a huge appetite - to quote from Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar "A dish fit for Gods!"

| Out on the river |
While munching on my oat dish, I caught the rare sight of an old motorboat whose slow progress against the current gave me plenty of time to stop and "Smell the Roses".
