Easy Eight

I can't believe that people like to clothes shop.  It's especially trying when you have to buy clothes.  It's harder when you know what you want, but no one seems to sell it any more.  At least I had Linda with me today to help.  After lots and lots of looking, I was successful enough to call it good.  The best part was knowing Bradbury lies between Freeport and my house.

Oh Brad!  You're good for what ails.  Linda and I went off on our own runs.  Without even thinking, I just ran Mindy's loop.  Almost all of the puddles were gone.  Well, most of the water was gone from the puddles; plenty of mud remained.  While pretty hot, a lot of the weekends humidity seemed to have dried up as well.

I had my camera with me, but no real intentions of taking it out until the pileated woodpecker kept squawking.  As much as he was heard, I never saw him, but, since I had my camera snapped off a couple pictures.

Bench on the Bat Cave - not sure when it showed up

Some trails are already getting covered

beware hidden roots

Red Squirrel about to take on a Jedi

Beaver pond filling back up

home sweet home

in person, these two fungi looked more like an opened clamshell

I felt pretty good out there.  Even did some up-tempo stretches, perhaps to counter my stoppage time for pics.  Will I run there everyday till I start driving to S. Portland daily?  I hope it works out that way : )
