Continuing on from yesterday with the Donnie Smith Bike Show, this one is a real beauty. This is the best old school girlie bike I have ever seen! It would be perfect if it had pink sparkly laces coming out of the handle bars. If I rode bikes instead of trikes, I would definitely ride Pinkalicious!
Here's a close up of all those pink sparkles. I love the "diamond" studs in the seat.

I purposely gave myself some challenges at this bike show. I used my 50mm lens (which is 75mm on my digital camera.) I also had to focus manually since this lens is kinda touchy.
The 75mm turned out to be more of a challenge than I thought. With so many bikes packed together and so many people crowded around them, it was hard to get back far enough to get a whole bike in the frame. I would have liked to get Pinkalicious' front tire in the shot, but that didn't work out.
I shot all of my bike show pics at F2.8, so there is some selective focus involved. But the faster lens did help out greatly since none of the pics were taken with flash.
Continuing on with my bike show pics, we can't forget the forerunners of all the cool bikes and trikes we have now. There were a lot of antique bikes at the show too, and this 1949 Indian Arrow was one of them.
Long before "pocket rockets," there was the Doodle Bug. A swarm of 40,000 Doodle Bugs took to the streets between 1946 and 1948.

This bike has dragons, swords, and knives all over it. Here's a close-up of a little dragon keeping a watchful eye on the front tire.
And here are a couple more dragons protecting the saddle bag.
No dragons in this pic, but it's not every day that you see a chain drive on a modern custom chopper. I think it's much nicer looking than a belt drive, especially with that shiny gold contrasting with the chrome.
We went for a little drive Saturday evening. With the sun out a little later and the beautiful weather we're having, it was a very pleasant drive.
We're in the process of a mini blizzard this afternoon. And, of course, my kitty had to investigate it from the safety of the screen porch. She didn't go far, though. And after she moved her lazy behind, I saw an interesting work of art.....
My kitty is so talented!
