The turn of the colors




Biking this Labor Day weekend was awesome. Well, except for biking on Labor Day itself, but let's focus on the positives, shall we?

Like this incredible scene of early September in rural Minnesota. This particular spot is only about seven miles from my house. This was the first time I really noticed the subtle shifts in color that signal the coming of fall. Certainly the golden colors were there before Friday, were they not? But in my car I'm less apt to notice them. On the bike, however, at a slower pace, a whole new world seemed to pop out in front of me. And it was glorious, absolutely glorious.

Inside I shout with glee, for autumn and winter really are just around the corner.
