Along My Run | 2

I love running in the Spring - the weather is warmer, but not too hot, my early morning runs are no longer in the dark and the sunrises are breathtaking. Here's what I captured during this week's runs.

This secret path connects the far west side to the rest of our town.

It was cold this morning (around 40 degF), but so sunny it didn't matter. I consider temperatures between 45 and 55 degF to be ideal for running.

A run in the country:

We saw two great herons, misty waterways and the emergence of green in the fields. A quintessential sign of spring on the prairie.

The sky turned a flame red right before the sunrise:

I've noticed the "real drama" in the sky has been before the sun emerges - once the sun comes out, all the brilliant colors are washed away.

Moody Skies, a departure from my normal color filled captures.

This morning's breezes brought the heady scent of lilacs to greet me along the road.

Two photos, one perfect run:

Based on what I could see from the house, I headed out a little early and reversed my normal route in order to have my breath taken away. You can't tell by the photo, but the waterway in the far distance was filled with mist.

Running my route in reverse allowed me to "see" this. One tiny little change, completely different perspective:

A windless morning, a rare reflection. The best way to start your day.

I hope you see something amazing along your daily path.
