February Trail Run

February is that in between month. By mid February you are tired of winter, and February teases. This week we had three warm days, but yesterday the temps dropped again and this morning is cold and windy. It's not the bone chilling weather of a couple weeks ago, but following the warmer temps you notice the cold. The days have gotten longer so I start with light.

I run along the white trail, than orange, and finally a small unmarked path that leads to a creek crossing. The photo below doesn't clearly show the creek but this view looks downstream.

After crossing the stream I head toward Ridley Creek Park. This path briefly enters the park and then loops back to the Arboretum. Here the blue and white trails merge for a short time.

I run into the dawn

Shortly I will turn back north and return through the woods. It is a empty wood, this late winter wood, but still quite beautiful.
