Feb 20 - Real Cold!

This morning was unbelievabley cold. I ran in to a strong headwind for the first 1.5 miles. I thought I would die! But, sorry, I made it. Here are some dawn photos.

Cold and Clear

We're back to cold, clear and leafless.

Balmy February

Today the weather was warm. It's supposed to hit 64 degrees, and thunderstorm. I was pleased to run in short pants for a change! Here I am running in all my happiness!

Frosty Sunday Morning

I saw a lot of interesting stuff on my run this morning. Here is a field of corn stubs with frost on it.

Here is a grassy stream bed. Two days ago it was flooded with rushing water. Today it is glistening with frost. Notice that the sun photograph's as a black dot in the middle left in the sky (and you can see it in the photo above as a black dot way over on the left.)

I came across a squirrel with crushed hindquarters. I don't have much feeling for squirrels, but I did put him out of his misery. I know a scared squirrel can be vicious, and bite off a thumb with those big teeth, but this guy didn't seem to have any fight left. He just gave himself over to the big heavy foot from the sky.
I woman, who I often see walking while I'm running, saw what was going on, and said the squirrel was "lucky" that I came along. I guess so. But I think if Mr. Squirrel would have written an essay called "My Lucky Day," he would have given it a somewhat different story line.

I saw this interesting tree.

And an orange peel.

Annisa's Party

Annisa had a sleepover with 7 friends. They stayed up until the wee hours of the morning.
In this stitched photo below, several of the girls, including Annisa (in the middle), were recorded in double images This photo was a stitch of 17 photos.
