Joy: My bike...my friend...

I have this bike with me ever since I came to this country...that is since the last 6 years...
A humble purple bike, bought from a local Walmart... it taken me around natural settings of South California...
Marsh..parks...
The first day I took it for a ride, both the tires were punctured by the thorns of a weed Tribulus terrestris...
I have hauled coins for laundry, plants from the local garden depot wit this..
The baskets have carried flower bouquets, pine cones, some foraged fruits....sometimes, my toys to the local park for photoshoot...

Animals will roam freely..happily....


Nature will be serene, uncontaminated....infusing life and positivity in us..
