My first .png upload and not sure how it will go. On my recent trip to Hawaii, I found this bicycle on a beach and it caught my eye. Right after I took this photo, two young women came along and walked off, bike in tow. To me it was reminiscent of days gone by. Thanks for stopping by today and I hope it a great day for you all.

What a wonderful photo, Anita! The bike does look like an older one. The beach looks terrific and your eye caught a delightful shot. So you've been in Hawaii. How good for you. I'm sure the weather and the scenery were awesome.

Beautiful, Anita so serene and secluded! You chose a very good angle also. I am not so sure about PNG - I have uploaded one PNG(with much more kilobytes than usual) but I have a feeling that people with only a simple modem may not like to download one of those. I may be wrong, of course.

Anita, now I know, why we allowed you to go to Hawaii. Smile. This is such a lovely place you found there and the bike really adds to it, gives the whole thing such a realistic feeling. I am impressed!

Looks like a great place to enjoy the day Anita. The older bike makes it look as though this could have been taken years ago and restored. What a lovely view this is.

I think it looks great, Anita, and don't worry about other people having to download a picture with larger pixels, because once it hits Caedes, from what I understand, it automatically gets compressed into a JPEG. The reason it's good to upload them in PNG is so that your image only gets compressed once instead of twice. Well, I read it on the discussion boards from a mod :) Lovely pic, as I said and it certainly tells a story.

A wonderful scene Anita and I agree the bicycle makes it extra special, adding interest and a sense of curiosity as to who rode it there.

She certainly looks like an OLD bike...you are right Anita...someone could depict this as a photo taken a couple of decades past by the age of this bike...gerry

You make me want to get away, and ride my bike at the same time. I will ride my bike to a dream get away? Perhaps...that does not however lower the amazing thought gathered from this photo...It is quite remarkable, thank you so much for sharing :)

Hi Anita,
I love this one, I agree with you regarding days gone by. I think the bike is from that time too. Keep the Beach & Surf stuff coming Anita !! You know I love them ;)
