More pictures from my Sunday bike ride
Before I made it to the 7-Eleven, I encountered a black cat guardian in front of an apartment complex. I got off the path to photograph him.
Then, to my surprise, a separate black cat approached from my left and immediately started rubbing against my bicycle and legs. I gave him some pats, but then he hissed at the first cat and trotted back off in the direction he came from. The first cat remained seated, staring him down.
The second cat (the one who approached me) entered a drain in the side of the hill. I knelt down to try to photograph him and he came out for more pats.
Of somewhat lesser importance photography-wise: some ruins from the Leesburg Lime Company and a picture of Goose Creek (I think?) that would have been far prettier without the electric lines.
I had a nice phone conversation with my mom on the way to 7-Eleven. She, Kooky, and Wesley just got back from visiting my grandpa's family in South Carolina and she was about to go see the new Beetlejuice with Scott and Kooky. I also paused by Eric's memorial bench once more to respond to my most recent messages on my Spanish app. I ended up recounting the story of Theseus and the minotaur in what was probably very broken Spanish, as I was talking with someone on there about mythology.
Lastly, I took over three pokemon gyms along the path there. All of the pokemon had been in there for several days, so I have a good chance of getting 50 plus coins from them (more if they are not all taken back at once). I also have a separate gym near Lake Anne that, despite the heavy traffic in the area, has remained in my posession for four days now. It was chilly when I made it back to my car.
