Feeling Fallish (again).

Our weather in late 2013 and throughout 2014 has sure provided ample fodder for discussion about unusual temperatures and weather conditions.  It seems as though we’ve been on a gigantic rollercoaster since Summer began … Tuesday was hot and sultry, Wednesday a transition day and this morning it was feeling Fallish once again.  Well, you’ll get no complaints from me because Fall is my favorite season.  This morning I left early and I was still holding back on walking too far for a few more days due to those pesky calf splints earlier in the week, though I felt great and wished I could have kept walking a few more miles.  I wanted to stroll down to Council Point Park, but didn’t want to tease myself by stopping short of the perimeter path, so I wandered instead over to Wyandotte.  It was beautiful on the bridge that separates our two cities and I paused, as I always do, to see if there were any ducks or geese congregating there, but there were none again today.  The one day I was lucky enough to see so many families must’ve been happenstance and I’m glad I was in the right place at the right time.  Here is one of the pictures I took that day, and, in looking at this picture, I realize the sun cast a near-identical reflection then as it did this morning.  When I tried to capture that picturesque scene today, unfortunately I could not.  I whipped out my camera to take a picture, pressed the “on” button, then the camera turned itself on and off a few times, and demanded batteries before it would allow me to shoot additional pictures, i.e. “Change batteries now!” … geez, a little more warning would have been nice; guess I need to start packing a spare pair of batteries when I set out. 

I sure was glad to be back in the groove and enjoying the simple pleasure of my morning ritual.  I added 2 ½ miles to my 2014 total and will aim to return to Council Point Park tomorrow, since it has been way too long and I need that infusion of Mother Nature’s fine work for my well-being.
