Back in May of this year I wrote a post about meeting my original goal for this blog, and what my future goals would be. Along with that post I also published a couple of dozen miscellaneous photos that I had taken during my lunchtime bike rides, but had not previously used for other posts on this blog. As this year is rapidly coming to an end, I decided to post some more miscellaneous photos. So below I have included a couple of dozen more photos that I took at different times over the past year, but have not used for this blog. Be sure to click on each of the photos to view the full-size versions.
