My knee has been feeling a little glitchy lately so I haven’t been walking like I was, let alone running. Sunday, I had been in the house all day watching football and working on paperwork so I went to Turkey Mountain for a short walk on a relatively flat trail. I went late evening, my favorite time on the mountain even though it was pretty chilly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I came upon this early on. I was a little annoyed but I guess that one could call it a “painted rock.” I’ve put a few painted rocks out. They are like river rocks though not sandstone. I let it be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love the trees on Turkey Mountain. The old ones are all gnarled up. They survived numerous ice storms, wind storms, and more than just a few tornadoes. They are kind of eerie looking. I like eerie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the sun went down some of the vegetation and grass had almost a fluorescent quality to it releasing a little bit of the light of the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I passed by one of the lakes on the mountain. This is about all we had for a sunset that night. The clouds were thick and low<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toward the end of my hike it was just plain dark. Nothing like being out in the woods all by yourself in the dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
