One thing I like about exercising by myself is that I don't have to negotiate with anyone or even make any plans. I do what I want, where I want. I'm not particularly spontaneous in my everyday life, but now that I'm living up here and mostly drive to my walking destinations, I find myself changing my mind a lot. I was originally thinking of the gulch yesterday, but decided to head for Spencer Island instead. But then as I was heading North, I noticed it was foggy downtown, so I went to the waterfront.
It was really neat seeing it flow down the hill to the water.


It wasn't long before I was completely in it.



This route takes me by Legion Memorial Park. I've mentioned before that it would be closing for soil remediation, and that time has finally come.

The fog was thick enough that my hair got soaked, along with all the spiderwebs. That made it look like the whole neighborhood was decorated for Halloween.


I've seen a lot of Little Free Libraries, but I've never seen one decorated like a bus, and I've certainly never seen one decorated like a bus with a perfectly-posed book making it look like someone's riding in it.

Today's featured house. I love the circular windows. Another house with a circular window a couple doors down had theirs made into a peace sign, which looked pretty dumb.

I'm collecting photos of the mosaics at Grand Avenue Park, one per walk. Yesterday's pick was the octopus.

From up there, I was nearly in the top of the fog, so I could nearly see out of it as I looked toward the water.

This car is always in this spot. I wonder if it even works.

That particular route is funny to me, because it's not particularly far or long, and there's not much of a climb, but it feels like it goes on and on. I think walking on pavement and being able to see far off into the distance just makes it drag out in my mind. I can say for sure that walking on pavement is more painful. My shins always get a little sore for a while. Luckily I recover and feel pretty good for most of the walk.
