I know I said I wouldn't walk again until I did more PT

But the fog this morning was just too awesome.




Pigeon Creek Beach ain't all that. You have to park out by the entrance to the port, but I didn't realize that at the time and turned back when I was almost at the gates. Once I got up and out of there, I parked on the street and came back down, realizing only then that the spot where I stopped to look at the map was where I should have just stopped.

Anyway, it's a cool beach if you like looking at industrial stuff on the way. I like the beach at Howarth Park better because it's 100x as long. But I did get closer than ever to a great blue heron.



Fog shot on the way back. I love when the world just disappears.



The beach and railroad tracks are up against a huge hill that probably wouldn't be there any more if it wasn't for all the trees and stuff. Hard to capture the scale without someone to go pose in front of it.



These two slugs were in a yin-yang position when I left the house. Should have got a photo then instead of waiting until I got home.



My back didn't feel great, but it was worth it.

Yeah it was lame that it was very non-Washington weather when you were here.

Sorry that you're going through these problems with your back. Hope it's better soon.

Thanks. It feels dumb to even mention it because it's quite minor compared to a lot of people's ailments, but it's had a pretty big impact on my routine.

Let me just say: Don't diminish your own situation by comparing it to that of others. Your situation is just as valid as anyone else's; assigning a > or a < value doesn't alter what you're going through one fucking bit!

I'll stop wagging my finger at you now and just wish you the best.

It looks very dark with that fog. What time of day did you go out?

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

Just about 6am.

One of the only things I miss about my old neighborhood was being able to get up at 4:10am and be out the door walking by 4:25. Nice quiet neighborhoods leading down to huge areas like wetlands, beaches, and an arboretum. I always used to walk first thing but need to wait until almost 6 here since mostly what's good here is parks and that's when they open.

Seattle's Green Lake park is even open 24 hours! Always tons of walkers and runners no matter how early I ever got there.

Oh and another thing making it look darker is that I was on the West side of the hill and the sun hadn't come up over it yet.
