Chilly Walk


Saturday morning dawned a deep blue bowl of cloudless sky with a chilly breeze. My kind of weather for a hike. After a short visit to the Stockton Farmers' Market, hubby and I walked a former railroad repurposed into a wide grassy path, for about an hour enjoying the fresh air coursing through our lungs and the feel of the sun warming our backs. We weren’t alone in our early morning ramble as fellow hikers and several bikers also had the same idea.

Before a fast-moving cloud cover arrived turning the morning into an overcast day, I was able to catch a few decent photos of things I saw on our walk.

Reflections are a favorite subject.
 
Is this an acceptable mode of anchoring a boat?
 
 A large sycamore covered with bittersweet vines against a blue sky.
How colorful is this?

Only a few decaying phone poles are all that's left of the former rail line.

Sticks and stones . . . and water too!

FYI -- there are 25 more days left til Christmas.

Namaste
Chris
