Another morning ride

I was able to get out to take a ride between calls this morning. I decided to head north along the Lake.

I ended up in Lake Bluff and headed to their beach. I stopped at the top of the bluff and as I parked my bike, noticed a large bird- a very large hawk, take off from a tree below on the 80+ foot bluff.

I sat back and had some iced tea and an apple. Afterward, I went down the very steep road to the beach level. I found a bench and enjoyed both the sun and the lack of people.
