Thank you for the tour. Whether it’s an e-bike, or a leisurely hike, the only good view I get this time of year is via imagery; otherwise it’s itchy; puffy; swollen eyes, and a runny; sneezing nose until the flowers and pollen subside. I actually outgrew the allergies when I hit my twenties, but since retiring the old hay fever stuff has returned with a vengeance. Somebody “upstairs” has a very warped sense of humor. The e-bike thing; however, sounds like it might be my kind of exercise😎.
Sorry to hear about the allergies. I am glad it is something I have never suffered with. The eBike has been great, allowing me to do far more then I could do otherwise. I even have a small trailer I can use to haul around all my gear with it. In just less then a year I have manage to put over 1,200 miles riding it.

I try getting out on it daily. At least I get more photos because of it.

Nice shots. I like #4 and #5.
To see the place covered with them is really neat. There are hundreds of them to see.

Nice photos. We don't have much in the way of flowers yet. It is just warming up.
we went from the low 40's and jumped into the mid and upper 60's and everything just started blooming. Spring is such a magical time, and a great time to take even more photos.

Very impressive set of flowers. I'm a sucker for a good apples blossom images and you sure didn't disappoint. Is #1 a Dame's Rocket? What type of e-bike do you have. I used to have a mountain bike but switch to a Raleigh (looks like a Schwinn) so I could sit upright instead of bent over all the time.
I have never heard of a Dame's Rocket. I do know it is also been called a Silver Dollar Plant, Money plant, Penny flower, and Moonwort. I had to look up the Dame's Rocket and no it is not the same as the Honesty. Annual honesty has big, heart-shaped leaves with the base much wider than the tip. Dame’s rocket has more lanceolate leaves and a hairy stem. Also, the seed pod shapes are different
My eBike is the Heybike Mars a 7 speed with a 48vdc 500 watt motor. I can get 32-35 miles on a full charge with peddle assist. I posted a photo of it in response to another post. It is a great way to still get out and still get some exercise. It has been well worth the money I spent for it.

Dennis, I have a electric bicycle (eBike) that I ride. I use it since I have issues walking very far.
Got it. Thank you for explaining. I guess I am just not up on the times.
