Bicycle / Bus Commute – Blog Entry #1 Texas Sunrise
I’ve been thinking for months about all the interesting things I see on the way to work, that I could blog about, now I’ve gone blank!!!
Maybe I will start with some photos of the sunrise. My favorite part of the morning commute. I took these last week, July 3rd I think?
Note: To view all the photos in this blog entry as a slide show, click on one of the photos and use right and left arrow keys to move through images.

Lest you get the wrong impression and start to think I live out in the country, let me explain. I live in a burb of Dallas. It was out in the country once upon a time, but not anymore. The field I pass by every day is a remnant left over from the days when this area was farmland. (Hog farms I’ve heard, but no one brags about that.)
Sometimes the current owners lease undeveloped land out to farmers who mow it for hay, or keep some cattle. It keeps the taxes at the agricultural rate.
So, everyday I look out across the field as I ride my bike to the bus stop, and watch for citified critters.
One morning I heard the unmistakable howl of a coyote. I didn’t see one that day, but I kept watching.
Eventually I did see a coyote chasing mice in the field, of which there is an abundance. He was jumping up and pouncing down, just like on PBS Nature. Pretty cool!
