hidden falls to crosby farms and back
37 degrees
Just like yesterday, another beautiful morning! Sunny, calm, not too cold. Sharp shadows, cloudless blue sky. Today’s route started and ended at the Hidden Falls parking lot, right next to the sunlit river. So wonderful! Ran with Scott and talked about Amy Winehouse, NCAA cross country races, lurking shadows, and why there was a car driving on the no vehicle path — lost golden retriever. As we neared Crosby Falls, we ran over a root that was embedded in the path and looked like a snake. Very cool! Scott took a picture of it:
10 Things
- chirping birds, shrieking squirrels
- shadows, 1: ours, sharp, beside us then in front of us
- shadows, 2: the trees, casting long lines across the paved path
- shadows, 3: the trees on the water, making the bright blue water look dark brown
- question pondered: what’s the difference between a shadow and a reflection — Scott’s answer: the position of the light
- a walker in a bright pink jacket
- the sandstone/limestone bluff — high and looming — on one side of us
- graffiti spray painted on a barricade in the parking lot, uh oh stinky
- smoke from a campfire on other side of a little lake near Crosby Farms
- running up a short, step hill on the tips of my toes and remembering when I tried (and failed) to bike up it a few years ago without shifting gears
