Fall ride

Fall colors are starting to kick in. I took my bike at the end of the day, followed the dike to the wildlife area, and came back through Wiley road, and back into Mann.
On the dike, I met my neighbor Bob, also riding his bike. Then by Allan's quack shack, I smelled wood burning. At the end of the dike, I saw some quack shacks completing their gentrification remodelling. Bob's neighbor carved a totem pole in front of his cabin. Once in the wildlife area, I could smell the iodine from the Bay. Hunting season's gonna start soon, so I want to enjoy the last quiet days. Past the Wildlife area headquarters, I admired the fields, the silos, and then into Mann the tall grasses bording the sloughs. A neighbor walking her dog, some sheep. It felt SO good. Back on the river I sat on the dock to watch the fall colors on the trees: tangerine. Many leaves have already fallen, piercing the screen on the opposite bank of the river with a few patches of sky. The river was very quiet, deep green and golden. Last show, the flaming colors setting on Beck's canoe on the other side.
What is really important?
