Fall Color

Fall leaves are peaking around Maryland's Piedmont region right now. Shadows are longer, temperatures are dipping and the first frost has arrived. Thankfully, rain has returned on occasion, and hopefully will continue to fall from time to time.

I still haven't been hiking much lately but want to make it a goal to get at least thirty minutes in before work each day, now that standard time has arrived. Once the leaves fall, I'd like to try and get more pictures of the local raptors, and measure the heights of a few trees at a nearby park. Time just marches on, and it unsettles me at times, especially now that I'm trying to stay put in one place. The need to hike more feels more necessary than ever right now, as it is so easy to just vegetate...
