A proper downpour, with thunder right above, surprised me (and others) just as I was leaving the university library the other day. Rain or sunshine, I love the spring!
The spring has also encouraged me to get my bike out and put it to use. On most days, if it's not raining, I'm biking the 8 km or so to the university library. It feels fantastic, though my decision to start biking was also motivated by a concern of the tendency of extra "layers" to gravitate to my thighs and bottom. ;-) I naturally have a biking helmet - of the pot model, it's actually a skater helmet - because a person who is not concerned about safety in the traffic is a fool. Even if you are super careful and never make mistakes yourself, accidents can still happen because you can't control the behaviour of others.

Love these photos Maria. They look and feel every bit as wet as the weather clearly was (nice bit of alliteration there hehe). I like the hurrying feet too. Very evocative. Well done you for cycling..8kms is quite far! I cycle to work at the uni every day too, but it's only 3.5 kms. I use my bike everywhere in the city. It's just not worth driving and the trams are so slow. I love it too, and don't need the helmet as we have cycle paths everywhere, lucky us! I agree with you about traffic, though,
