Running outside regularly in the
mornings for the first time in my life has given me a new perspective
on seasons. Over the past few weeks I've watched the trees evolve
from lush green to foggy, muted mystery to thin sticks surrounded by
brown and orange detritus. Running has given me much more time to
dwell on the changes than hurried driving, and I feel more in touch
with fall this year.
It's a good season for me, and aside
from the winter holiday season is the time of year with the most
ritual and celebration.
This past weekend held two of my
favorite fall traditions: the Maryland Renaissance Festival and my
church's tailgating night. I wrote about both of them last year, and
I don't have anything new to
say about either of them, but I do have some new pictures.
First, from one of the best
demonstrations at the festival, the glassblower. New this
year—seasonal glass pumpkins.
Second, part of my contribution to
tailgating. In addition to ice cream I made bonbons this year, and
here are a few I photographed beforehand.
I hope all of you are well and enjoying
your own fall traditions.
Next time we meet at a con we'll have to go running together. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds great! Except I think you can probably run a lot faster and farther than I can :)
