Bike Week in Daytona

It’s that time of year again…Bike Week in Daytona Beach.  The roar of the motorcycles, the chrome, the leather, the tattoos, black t-shirts, and (some) just plain weird people having fun.  They’re here again. I’ve always called it Mardi Gras with leather instead of beads.  Seemingly on cue, the weather turns cold, as it does every year.

I just had to share the cold front coming through yesterday morning ~ on Saturday it was nearly 80° and within 30 minutes Sunday morning, it dropped to 59°.  We watched this front roll in from one of our favorite places for a bite.  It was cool to watch the powerful wind shear the tops of the waves off in dramatic sprays.  The rain (precious little) came with it and by early afternoon, the sun was shining again, but the crazy wind remained (and is still with us today), making it very brrrrrr! (I know, no sympathy from my northern counterparts :-)

Here’s the creative part of today’s post ~ this local dolphin mailbox, which we pass on our way to the boat, is always dressed appropriately for each holiday and event…

    I experienced that same cold front on “our side” of Florida during my morning walk yesterday–let’s just say my pace got a little quicker the darker the sky became! But alas, only wind and a tiny bit of rain for us too.
