My self care motorcycle and photography adventure

My self care motorcycle and photography adventure

After dreaming about it for more than 25 years but putting it off to keep others happy, at the end of last year I finally got my motorcycle licence and a bike.

After a most relaxing ride this afternoon I thought this would be a good idea for a thread as it is most definitely part of my self care strategy.

I'm sure anyone who has ridden a bike will understand what I mean 😁

Until today my rides have been just that, rides. I tried it out this afternoon and want to allow more time for stops and enjoy another self care activity. Photography. If I can share some of those photos then maybe others can enjoy the ride with me 😊

Finally managed to get back on my bike this ave for a 200km ride with my Mum.

Didn't stop for as many photos as I would have liked due to time limitation but did manage a couple.

Stopped later for a sunset pic but by the time I got found a safe space to stop and get my camera out it was all over.

Was.close by so considering heading out early tomorrow in hopes it may be similarly spectacular 😊

Re: My self care motorcycle, boating and photography adventure

Decided to add boating to my self care adventure 😊 Finally managed to get the boat wet today for the first time in almost 2 years. Day out with s2 for some 1 on 1 time deciding 1 on 1 may be more enjoyable for all. Round 2 with S1 next week 😁

Sunset cruise.

Only hour and a half drive and half hour boat ride (each way) to this stunning view. Well worth the effort 😊

Would love to have had my good camera with me but not taking that on the boat so phone pics will have to do.

Love being on the water at sunrise and sunset but the long drive to get there makes it a rare occurance.
