Living in subtropical Georgia has lots of benefits.
Our Indian Summer is so lovely...
Rather exotic looking Yucca lily in bloom on October 24, as we biked.
Had to zoom in as I was a bit reluctant with my sandal feet to get into the ditch...
Copperheads are being born live in the fall and I sure don't want to step onto one!
On a lovely sunny October 15, on the bridge across the Oconee River.
That's me posing next to Pieter's New Green Deal...
We went back to the bridge for the first time since Pieter got a flat tire there!
That was quite something... I swapped bike with him so he could ride home on mine and come back with the car, backseat flat for transporting his bike. It JUST fit...
I've managed to push it for about 4 km and it was hard to do in the heat, full sun and uphill!
Next we had to go to Atlanta Cycling for getting a new back tire; they happened to have just the LAST one, at their other location.
So we keep our fingers crossed that things go well!
Oh, on one of the longer rides, Pieter had an empty battery... he thought he had more than wat it was.
So I swapped with him again and pedaled that heavy sucker home for some 20 km... Those hills are killing you!
There still are lots of yellow wildflowers alongside the road.
Golden Rod with a happy Bumble Bee feasting on its pollen.

We love the quiet back roads since we do not have bike lanes here, like in The Netherlands.
WISH we had them!
Lovely wildflowers...
Huge field where peanuts already have been harvested!
Here they were still harvesting the peanuts.
Georgia is a BIG peanut exporter!
Photo is from October 17, and these Confederate Rose shrubs (Hibiscus mutabilis) are blooming everywhere!
We used to have one in our wood garden but of course, the competition with tree roots is fierce.
These goat kids were loose once we biked past this meadow.
Now the owner has secured the fencing a lot better, attached mesh wire in front of the planks so they no longer can escape!
There were five more of those goats in front of an old school bus.
Hate to see old cars or equipment sitting somewhere; why not recycle?!
October 22, blue sky and at this lake there always is lots of water fowl.
If there would be a bench, one could observe different birds.
October 22, it was 28℃ or 82℉
Guess on a Saturday we ought to clean out this barn...
Horses are a far better sight!
Pieter captured me when I went closer for capturing that Yucca lily.
Did not want to go into the ditch bare footed... think about snakes from my previous post (see link below).
Love to wear these cotton terry shorts from Escada, with a cotton t-shirt from Indonesia.
Wish this photo would work LIVE as you could see those birds flying away in a big cloud...
Smart cooperation, the cows stir up insects and they're right there!
Pieter counted 50 cows but they have such vast meadows here, compared to The Netherlands!
Another farm where they usually keep horses but this time they had several Llamas.
Haha, this one tried its very best to smile at the camera!
On LIVE it does...
Hope you enjoyed this little view of rural Georgia.
