Greenway Fall Flowers

Sometimes I think there are nearly as many flowers blooming in the Fall as in the Spring, at least along the greenways. A couple of shots from my morning bike trips on Stones River and Shelby Bottoms Greenways:

More Flowers on the Greenway

This shot was made the day before I left for Warren, AR trip and late posting. And I haven't looked up their name yet, but will. The visual feast I get riding my bike is just a bonus to the good health and adventure!

Carolina Rose or Multiflora Rose

Clover Overtaking Mustard Flowers

My last two bike trips on the Greenway have been only to the Shelby Bottoms Nature Center, but I have noticed all along the greenway that clover has suddenly appeared and becoming dominant over the yellow flowers of last week. Plus it was fun to find one little patch of Red Clover near the skatepark in Two Rivers Park. Maybe I'll get a photo of them Wednesday when I hope to go all the way to downtown Nashville which gives me 23 miles instead of the 16 ridden today. It is so good to have a nature-filled greenway to bike on!

Stones River Greenway Biking

I biked 10 miles on the Stones River Greenway yesterday and had a ball! Spring is here as shown by this scene in Two Rivers Park along the greenway. I went as far as Shelby Bottoms this trip and just might go all the way to downtown Nashville next time or the time after that. 

Beautiful Yard Work Day

Cleaned up and started getting flowerbeds ready but all I planted in the ground were some cheap marigolds. We could still have another freeze! And if we do, I can bring these potted flowers inside from my deck..Getting in the mood for spring and summer.
