Spin a cam, and make it bump up against a lever ... and you get a rocking horse ... or a bucking bronco!!
Both with my 34-week baby bump, and all the new and improved pot holes in my neighbourhood (love my steel bike).
Incredibly bumpy road in the back of a converted russian military flatbed.

Eastern Grey Squirrel, Sciurus carolinensis
Northern, VA, USA
In the USA in the 1800s, squirrels were called 'skuggs'. Benjamin Franklin, a founding father of the USA, was fond of squirrels and kept squirrels as pets. He liked them so much he sometimes gave squirrels to people as gifts. One time he sent a grey squirrel from Philadelphia all the way to London as a gift for a friend! Benjamin Franklin named his pet squirrel 'Skuggs'. This little squirrel was found by a neighbor when he was a little bit too young to care for himself just as Benjamin Franklin found a baby squirrel when he was a boy. The neighbor named him 'Bumpy' and made sure he had food, water and shelter while sorting out survival and independence. Bumpy found our house quickly and is a routine visitor. One of the things I think is interesting about squirrels is how they can go straight up and down fences and walls as if their feet have suction cups. They are legendary in their ability to raid any bird feeder, even squirrel-proof bird feeders.

If you are looking for an opportunity to help animals (dogs in specific) in need and you live in the DC/Virginia/Maryland area I have one for you to look in to. It was recently found that a pet rescue worker in West Virginia was keeping about 150 dogs in less than ideal conditions. There was an article in the Washington Post about it and Berkley County Animal Control created a new web site dedicated to helping the dogs that were seized. I think they are still putting the web site together and some of the links do not work, however, there are photographs and descriptions of the dogs. They desperately need foster homes for the dogs. Please give one of these dogs a helping hand if you are able. They have been through a lot.

Thanks greatly to Ross Dunn for bringing this one to my attention.
This unnamed lane, running between Byron Avenue and Edina Street, is perhaps the most interesting one I've come across so far.
Parts of it are level, and it acts as a back alley laneway for garages for vehicles, and one can see clear evidence of vehicle traffic.
In other parts, there is no vehicle traffic (as one can clearly see with the snow), either because there just aren't garages there even though it's flat, or because it is too narrow and bumpy and it even rises and falls in elevation, so it's more like a rural country lane for walking, like the one behind my parents' house in Quinte West.
The variation makes it more interesting to walk along than any other lane I've encountered so far here; definitely my favourite thus far. :)
Kitchissippi Ward; Ottawa, Ontario.
I've been asked by lots of people for some bump pics... well here is one.
Keith and I are spending lots of time staring in amazement at my moving bump these days. Well, that's when I'm not busy doing photoshop projects. ;-)
Trying to find some different ways to present the bridge as you walk across it.
They actually filmed parts of Hitchcock's 'Vertigo' at the Golden Gate Bridge, and with good reason. You can't look up without the wind, the threat of oncoming pedestrians or cyclists and sound of the cars whizzing by without thinking you're going to fall off.
The bridge has approximately 1,200,000 total rivets.

For all the jumping, bumps, hairpin turns I don't think there was too many crashes. I was expecting bikes to be down all the time. It seemed like an easy thing to do too, there isn't much grip and when these guys are going downhill full blast the bike are jumping around like crazy.
this is for my other picture....how do I put this picture in the comments of the other photo w/o uploading it?
