What a Difference a Day Makes

Today: Warmer, icy, cloudy, foggy, calm winds and deer. Just one other car in the parking lot.

In the open areas, the fog created a light mist, but not enough to soak my jacket. In the trees, it was like rain. The drops must form on the branches and then rain down. The white streak in the background is one of the runs at Afton Alps - they've been making snow.

The trails were pretty clear and a little soft in places. They didn't seem slippery but maybe it was because I wore my shoes that had cleats on the bottom.



It was a great day for photos, the soft light allowed more of the small details to light up, like the moss photo this week compared to last week.


The fungus are doing their part in the woods.

And there were a couple of deer, just enough to let me know that we shared this space with them.

Running at Afton


Ran at Afton SP both days this weekend. Trails are good for this time of the year. However, I need to be careful because there are a couple of slippery spots. This is a photo of a "mud puppy".

Afton State Park


Went for a short run at Afton SP today. Ran the snowshoe loop. It was quite chilly in the open areas. The ground was soft with very little snow. The trails can be easily damaged when they are this soft. We just need to stay on the trails.
