Wednesday here in Oklahoma started cold, about 29F but it was clear and it warmed up nicely and the skies were clear in the afternoon into the 40’s so I bundled up and drove to north Tulsa’s Oxley Nature Center to get some trail time and sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took the trail called the North Woods Loop. I have been on this trail dozens of times over the years and hardly ever see anybody. Today there was nobody at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The air was crisp and the skies were blue. It was late afternoon and the lowering sun illuminated everything perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were lots of dead leaves on the trail which made it hard to walk stealthily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sun was brilliant shining through the remaining leaves leaving an impression almost like stained glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
