Riding along Mount Vernon Trail NOT in an old-timey bicycle
While biking on the Capital Crescent Trail yesterday, I saw a man riding a penny-farthing, AKA an old-timey bicycle.
Since I was pretty sure I hadn’t time traveled, I found this antique pastime amusing. But what I didn’t do in that moment was snap a photo. I had my iPhone in my pocket, I just wasn’t ready.
Just as the mysterious “they” always say that the only runs you ever regret are the ones you don’t go on, the only photos I have ever regretted are the ones I didn’t take.
Which is why I usually ride my bike with my iPhone either in my hand or in my pocket, set to open to my camera at a second’s notice.
Luckily, I did manage to get some shots last week during a long ride down to Gravelly Point, a football field-sized park across National Airport in Virginia.

I love to run and I love to photograph. One day I learned how to combine the two and became a member of a loose-knit group of weirdos called runographers. 
lovely colours, reminds of technicolor:-)
Totally, that’s one of the benefits of this app.
The plane photo is one of my favorites.
Also, I still don’t know how you manage to ride and shoot at the same time. What superb balance.
Neither do I. Hope my luck doesn’t run out!
The penny-farthing rider would’ve been a good addition to that “Strangers” project! C’mon, get on that.
The plane photo is superb.
{Epod made me want a reason to use the word “superb”.}
I should have turned around and tracked him down. I am seriously regretting it.
