Friday Sep 24 Day 114

Weather report: High patchy clouds to start the day. Low clouds moved in around 11 am.

I went out on a morning shoot lasting from 7:45 to 11:45. My process must be getting more efficient because I accomplished much more than I had planned on. The ferns on some of the trees are starting to show autumn colors. They are turning yellow and adding additional colors to the verdant greens.

Yesterday was the most exercise I have had in many months. My back is starting to complain and I did not spring out of bed this morning. My blood sugars were low because of the excess exercise of yesterday. After shooting this morning, I walked 1/2 a mile and took a taxi to the top of the hill. No need to overwork the old bones (actually it’s the muscles that are squawking).

I decided to do an afternoon shoot. I went to a place called Faire Glen. It is a natural glade in the forest and there have been fireplace and stone benches set up. I was taping the area when I felt a raindrop on my head. After several these I put my equipment into my backpack and headed up the hill. It took 15 minutes of hard climbing to reach the top of the hill. By the time I was at the top the sun was out. The afternoon ended with thunder and some rain.
