That’s quite a machine there, Monte! Great colors, and I love the furry front wheel – classy! 🙂

I loved it as soon as I saw it. The flowers are attached to the fenders. It just shouts as you walk buy. It begged to have its photo taken.

Shout is correct, Monte. No way that you could walk away from that gem! 😀
Monte Stevens
Deafening. And, I’m one those people who needs to shouted at once in a while. Just ask my parents. 🙂

Love this, Monte. What a great bike photo. I love to photograph bicycles too. I photographs them whenever I see them.
Monte Stevens
I sort of figured your eyes would be drawn to them, also. Thanks, David! Hope all is well with you.

I also meant to say that this image is so good because the bike has a lot of character. I find that all bikes tend to have some character, but some express the personality of their owners more than others.
Monte Stevens
Yes, I would loved to have met the rider of this bike. And, it also conjures up images of they are.

Hope you are well too. I still plan to do that other blog post we talked about when the time is right.

Wonderful capture, Monte, and when you look closely you can tell it’s colors and design was well thought out, not accidental. Nice!
Monte Stevens
Thank you, Earl. I assume it was designed by the owner, and if so, then the colors and design were thought out.
