Another Trail Running Post
When I woke up this morning and looked outside, I was excited to see the dusting of snow that we got. So I grabbed my trusty $159 Digital Elph, my dog, some hot coffee, and drove out to my regular running loop!
I love how different that trail can be from the most slightest variations of the weather. Sometimes I can’t wait for spring showers. I like running in the rain, too. But the snow makes the scenery truly beautiful!
The Ascent of this trail run is perfect – it gets your heart pumping and is just long enough to get a good sweat going! There’s that dog again! It was unbelievably quiet this morning. I love getting to the trails super early. Sometimes living in the city, I forget what quiet is. I live off of a busy street and my office is on Broadway… so I am surrounded with noise all day long. So to find myself in the middle of a trail somewhere and I can’t hear a single thing… it’s almost surreal!
I broke out the macro feature of my p/s camera. I am amazed at Canon’s macro function. It captures so many details and I had my lens like, 2 inches from the leaf!
The final stretch back to the parking lot. The fog was thicker than pea soup!
Another shot. I had a little photoshop fun with this one.
That’s it! Not a bad way to spend a Thursday AM!

Wow! I want photos 3 and 4 in size 11×16 and framed in my living room! You are going to have to teach me how to use my point and shoot. It’s nicer than yours so, eventually, I should be able to take nicer pictures than you, right?

Beautiful photos – I especially like the macro photos – amazing what you can do with a small digital. Not a bad way to spend any morning!
