Wind blowing, waves crashing

The wind was crazy on tonight’s run, which explains the waves. A quick 4K in the bag, despite me not wanting to leave the house.

This week’s long run: dark and flighty

Set out while it was still dark outside:

Was rewarded by an awesome sunrise:

And some Egyptian geese:

As well as a pied kingfisher on the hunt:

A white-throated kingfisher was perching on a wire above the boat dock (you can barely see him, I know, but they’re flighty, so I couldn’t get nearer):

I was super surprised to see a ring-necked dove, as they’ve been overrun by common pigeons:

On the way back I saw a gathering of kayaks in the sea, which was a first for me:

A little over 10K on a very interesting run:

This week’s long run: geese all the way

Early morning 9k in weather I wish would never end. I encountered a surprising amount of Egyptian Geese on the way, and they were in a relatively friendly mood, allowing me to get pretty close to take photos of them.

Clouds and Hot Air Balloons

Went on a 5k run this evening, and though the weather was hot and humid, a breeze kicked up in the end, easing some of my sweaty discomfort.

It was a big cloud kind of day:

Stopped on my way to take a few pictures of ducks and a night heron:

A young woman was sitting by the artificial lake with her dog, taking in the view and adding to it:

A hot air balloon made escorted me for a while:

Then rushed back, before it was too dark to see the path back.
