Work took me up to Duluth for a couple of days this week, and the feeling of 'winter coming in' was pervasive. On Thursday afternoon, a group of us ran in a 5k race along the boardwalk. Running into a very stiff Lake Superior headwind, we watched the waves smash against the rocky shore, and dodged the spray as best we could.
When I got back home, 40 degrees and the promise of a little sun seemed like perfect weather. After working in the yard most of Saturday, my evening run was very mellow. I brought my camera along and stopped to check out this crab apple tree for a few minutes.
