In Like a Lion?

Well, Happy Spring! This makes total sense given the winter we've had.  Never surprising but always interesting. This is today at 10:30am and then at 3:30pm. 

Why Did the Deer Cross the River?

Today I think it was for me. So I could stop in complete observation and awe. These are the kinds of interruptions in a daily routine that are welcomed gratefully. Perfect day to be surprised on a run. -A

More Winter Contrast

Although I've been in town all week, we've had quite a contrast in winter here.  Wednesday and Saturday, about 40 degrees difference.  From running in shorts to sled riding in a week.  It was great to open the windows for a day and also to experience the blanket of snow. -A

Colors of Fall

The best thing about Fall is its leaves. The worst thing about Fall is it leaves. I have taken the time to take some pictures of the colorful displays from nature this year while I've been out and about. The peak leaf changing season seems extended this year. No matter a bright blue sky background or a dismal gray, the oranges and yellows and reds seem to pop. -A

Yellow Leaves

Fall is really here.  It's now October and so many of the leaves aren't green any longer.  I really love the beautiful yellow leaves of this tree.  It is almost perfectly shaped (aside from the dead branch hanging off the side) but I try to enjoy the bright color of the leaves while they last.  The tree is just as lovely when it's green all summer, but it truly is stunning in its current state.  - P
