Although my birthday was a few weeks ago, I wanted to share a poem and some pictures from that day. My husband and I stayed local. We rode up Highway 20 right outside of Nevada City and made one stop by a favorite waterfall.
RIDE
We ride through the sierras
Open to the world.
Leaning with each turn…
Braking for obstacles…
Flying through the straightaways…
While the sun illuminates our way.
We cruise over our paved path
With a loud rumble announcing us.
It’s here I find my stillness…
Deep within, on the back of a Harley
Flying through the forest’s freedom
The day of my birth is celebrated.
In the last picture, I found a face in the debris. Can you find it?

Lovely poem! And yes, I think I see the face in the middle. Belated happy birthday wishes.
Thank you Cynthia:) Those eyes stood out to me.
Great poem and yes I see the face.
Thanks, John. I’m glad I didn’t see it until later when I looked at the picture!
OMG, that face is spooky! Lols. Lovely poem and great pictures, Denise. So glad you had a good day 🙂
It’s the eyes…lol. Thank you, Harmony! I did have a wonderfully carefree day:)
I see faces in things all the time!
It looks like you had a great birthday. Here’s hoping the rest of the year is every bit as wonderful.
Thank you, Staci:) My sister in law always jokes my pictures capture faces in the strangest thing…lol. I’m hoping for a wonderful rest of year for everyone!
Nice poem and beautiful scenery. Happy belated birthday!
Thanks, Joan. I do enjoy our local beauty!
So beautiful, Denise, and seeing the two of you together makes it extra special. ♥ I saw the face, how amazing.
Thank you, Gwen 🙂 I’m very blessed. I was suprise to see that face later.
What a fun time. Love your husband’s tats.
it was, Jacqui:) He has some nice ones, of course I’m fond of the Denise one!
Hehee
It looks like it was such a gorgeous day, Denise. Lovely poem, too.

Thanks, Balroop:) It was a nice way to celebrate, I agree!
So Good! Can I borrow your Harley? 🙂
Thanks, Billy 🙂 He he…have to see how generous my husband is feeling!
I love, love, love everything about this post! There is nothing more freeing than riding on the back of a Harley! You are a lucky girl and your hubby is a lucky guy! The photos are great and the poem says it all! When I saw the face in the debris, I immediately thought book cover! 🙂 Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, Jan. I know we are kindered Harley spirits:) I am lucky and enjoy that freedom. I smile thinking I’m a grandma rider. That would make a good book cover, Jan, you are right! xo
Happy belated birthday, Denise. I love the juxtaposition of stillness after a the loud rumble of arrival.
Thank you, Rob 🙂 Its an interesting place to find.
Perfect place to celebrate, Denise… Happy Birthday to you! <3 xo
