8r4dsfeets Oh #spring it must be pollen season huh?

8r4dsfeets It’s been a bit wet around here. #spring huh?

8r4d I spent a lot of the winter driving to various #cafe in the neighbourhood looking for a distraction-lite place to write and work. Then as the #spring arrived I switched to walking, trudging along the paths to my local haunts to find the same gaming-console-free no-tv nothing-to-clean space to get some more writing done. This morning I realized that with the nice weather and warmer mornings a #bike ride would substitute. So maybe I’ll spend my summer #cycling to write? As long as I can find a place to lock up. Starbucks was acutely lacking in bike racks this morning so I’m at Waves instead. #coffee

8r4d Day fourteen of my streak and on the last day of my second week of #running I opted to tackle the hot-ish #spring temps with some more mileage on my summer gauntlet project. I really need to be more methodical about my routes to be honest because I seem to recall that last time I tried this I was cleaning up the neighbourhoods with a lot less overlapping of stuff I’d already run. Or maybe I’m just idealizing my memories.

8r4d With only about 10 days until our year end concert our #orchestra is in full gear for practice. The result is that it’s Tuesday morning and I’m on the north side of town to meet for a morning sectional practice having barely recovered from our practice last night which ended almost exactly 12 hours ago. And it’s such a beautiful sunny #spring day too.

pixelazy A certain sign of #spring that the plum tree is in full bloom, but does this count as an #insect photo or a #flower photo or both? #macro

8r4d Just a family #walk on a quiet #spring evening. What better way to spend an hour after a long day of runs and yard work.

8r4d May the course be with you on this May the fourth, so my fourth #running excursion of the month was a visit to #parkrun in the #rivervalley where I slammed a 5k with about 60 others in the #spring sunshine.

8r4d Just a #spring day at the dog park.

pixelazy I decided to go for a long #walk today instead of a long bike ride and I wound up in the valley trails where #spring is showing signs of reappearance in the form of tree buds and various insects. #insect #spider #macro

8r4dsfeets My shoes this month are a pair of old recycled runners from a few years ago, but they are good enough for long morning #walk through the dog park on a quiet Tuesday morning. It may be #spring but there is still ice on the river. #rivervalley

adventuredog This little dog always seems to be a few steps behind. With it being #spring We’ve taken our morning walk to the local dog park where she can be off leash. That’s great and all but I spend most of my days shouting at her to keep up as she sniffs and wanders and occupies herself at her leisure.
