I ran about 7 miles around the neighborhood, mostly at Southeast Park. This picture was not taken there but on my last run through Dickcissel Field. Winter provides such stark contrasts and etches the sky with color. The light was pretty flat on my run today. Southeast Park wears all the russets and dull browns of Winter. The bitter cold has wiped out any trace, even Dandelions, of wildflower activity. It's supposed to warm up for the next few days and maybe that will bring out some flowering beauty. Not much bird activity down there to speak of. It's usually a great spot for Field Sparrows and White-throats. First saw a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker down there a few months ago but nothing since. Saw a Turkey Vulture circling. Need to get out there in early morning. Had the park to myself except for a couple of walkers.
Will be gone to Laurel, Maryland for the next few days. Will probably report from there. Don't know if I'll get in a jog though. My run was 7 miles at 10 minutes per mile. Beautiful day.
