I am thrilled beyond words to tell you that two days after I ran in Sunday’s race, my back/legs feel really good! This morning I went for a five-mile run on the trail behind my house and saw some pretty cool things…
Before I even got out of the house, I heard the ducks squawking and looked out my kitchen window. I saw our neighborhood fox trying to catch breakfast, but the ducks wouldn’t have anything to do with it! My husband has some really nice cameras and long lenses, but I’m pathetic using them, so I always grab my little camera. Can you find the fox in the picture below?
Where’s Waldo; I mean where’s the fox?
As I headed out my back door to get on the trail, I ran past the storm drain that goes from our cul-de-sac to our back yard. The county is in the process of their spring fire hydrant flushing, so I was treated with this waterfalls!
Hydrant Flushing
About 20 steps away from our back yard we have a community trail that runs all through our neighborhood. It’s mostly tree covered and well used by my family! This is one of the many beautiful trees that I see several times a week!
Old Man Vine-covered Tree
My sincerest apologies for posting a picture of May Apples again this week. No not really… I have this thing about May Apples! They just make me smile and remind me that spring is here!
Trail May Apples
Who can explain this? While running along the trail beside the creek, I saw this collection of shells. I did not touch them or move them… This is exactly how I found them. I don’t know if an animal or child left their shell collection behind.
Trail Shells
Remember last month when I posted a picture of these snow-covered trees near a client’s house and said to remember them…
March 18
Here is how they looked yesterday when I drove to her house. Every year I look forward to seeing them at peak, and yesterday was apparently the day!
Flowering Cherry Trees
I will leave you with a picture of my favorite little client! Here she is demonstrating how she can do a splits-stretch. Do you see the little cereal puff that I used to encourage her?
Stretch those legs!
- Questions:
- Who/what do you think left the shell collection behind?
- Could you find the fox in my pathetic photo?
- What’s something cool you’ve seen along the running trail lately?
Look at how lush everything there is! I love seeing all the green that comes with spring. Forsythias are blooming like mad here, love it. Is the fox partially behind that tree in the picture? So funny about the shells. It had to be a kid playing with them, no?
Yes, you found the fox!
You are probably correct about the shells. We think that the shells washed up on the path a few weeks ago when the creek flooded, and some children picked them up and left them there. I had visions of a little otter sitting on the path eating the mussels out of the shells, even though we don’t have otters here! 🙂
I love your blog- such a ray of sunshine!
🙂
Looks like a great run!! I’m so glad spring is here and bringing all it’s pretty flowers!! Your client is adorable! 😛
LOVE the pics and you’re so lucky to have such cute clients!
What a beautiful place to live and run!!!
I have no thoughts on the random shell collection. Odd…
That is such an incredibly beautiful baby.
Thanks, Logan. You’re welcome to come join me for a run anytime!
We have decided that the shells washed up on the path in a recent flood and some children picked them up and left them there. You can see that the asphalt is quite dirty from the creek washing over it.
Baby = 🙂
That baby is so cute!
I’m so jealous of the views you have on your running trail. Compared to what you get to run thru, mine looks like a desert. We have little bitty trees.
The wooded trails were one of the selling points for us for this neighborhood! 🙂
seems like a child to me!
That is an amazing transformation with the tree from just over a month ago! I am so glad you got the picture at the same angle and everything! 🙂
I’m happy you’re feeling good after your race.
Thanks, Stephanie! I was afraid that I might have overdone it by running the whole way, but I feel great!
We’re pretty sure to that a child gathered the shells from along the path where they had washed up in a recent flood.
That looks like a great trail! How long is it?
I think the shell collection was the foxes appetizer 😛 ya’ll have oysters in your creek, right?
Your littlest client client is too cute!
