A Flower Does Not Talk Silently a flower blooms In silence it falls away, Yet here now, at this moment, at the place, the whole of the flower, the whole of the world is blooming This is the truth of the flower, the truth of the blossom; The glory of eternal life is fully shining here... --Zenkei Shibayama
I ran more than one full minute faster than I ran this same course last year (I didn't run with my camera today)! And last year's #1 in my age group has moved on to the NEXT age group. I TRIED to keep up to her (I didn't know she'd moved out of the age group until AFTER the race), which is probably why my time was so good today. Even though it was HOT. This is a group shot of award-winning Montgomery County Road Runners. (One of my clubs, obviously!)
* Life is change.
** Born in New Jersey. (A Jersey Girl, but I don't know "What Exit".) I went to college in Iowa. (NOT in a cornfield, but close.) I was a New Yorker. The proverbial Struggling Actor in Manhattan, and surviving pretty well for 20-something-ish years (I *heart* New York.)
*** Now I live below the Mason-Dixon line. (But I'm born and bred a YANKEE.)
***For awhile, I was an avid-almost-rabid runner, running WITH my camera much of the time. I have been experiencing some "aging ? and other issues", but I still doggedly clod-hoppily-plod my way through events, camera usually in hand. Now I'm even SLOWER than I used to be. *** :-P ***
** I used to help socialize local humane society cats in their foster home, and take photos for the website, but my Haven kitties moved to a farm in Virginia in May 2018. ~meow~
Awaiting my next incarnation, or not....***
I still have a phondness for photography & a recurring Flickr Addiction, so go see my photos!
