Yesterday was the last of several sunny days, and since I did not ride my new motorcycle much, I decided to go for a sunset cruise in the region's forested canyons.
Unlike riding offroad, for which my knobby 250cc is designed, cruising streets is quite a bad experience. The bike shakes and vibrates at speeds up to 30 mph, and I did not even attempt anything above 40.
It is definitely not Tenere or BMW, but I have spent under 2,000 and not $12,000.
On the motorcycle ride, I went to Snoqualmie Falls and stopped by several spots by the river.
In The Fall City, there are rows of cherry trees by the river, and I was glad I went, as in a few days, I would have missed them. It was beautiful.

On the way back, after sunset, I saw a large black bear in the middle of the road. I had to slow down and rev my engine for the bear to finally disappear into the forest. What is fantastic is that it was just a short mile from my kid's school.
