Pause

Today's solitary run was along the South Boulder Creek trail which was extraordinarily quiet this morning. So much so, that I found myself pausing to revel in the quiet.

One stretch of the trail goes between marshy grasses and some ponds - a stretch where I am always looking for wildlife as we have seen water birds, deer, coyotes, rabbits, prairie dogs, and even a weasel in the past. Today was a bird day - the air was filled with bird chatter.

A pause to listen.

Further along the trail is grassland - now standing grass from last year's growth, no green yet to be seen. But with the sun shining on it, it glowed golden brown.
A pause to gaze.
























Off the trail and back into the neighborhoods - very very quiet neighborhoods. But not without their sense of humor.
A pause to laugh.
