Greeting the Sunrise
Day 270/366
We've been planning this special outing for a couple of months and today was the day to take advantage of the later sunrise and summer-like temps. We got up early, grabbed our flashlights and camera gear and drove to Donald Park. We hiked up to the top of the Mount Vernon Overlook and arrive about 30 minutes before sunrise. Then we sat back and enjoyed the show. It was fairly cloudy near the horizon, so I was worried that we wouldn't see the sun as it came over the horizon, but we weren't disappointed. We saw the sun as it rose, a deep, glowing red, and then it disappeared again behind another bank of clouds. It was a beautiful display and a memorable adventure for all of us.

Apple Picking
Day 268/366
We spent a fun morning at Sutter's Ridge picking apples, choosing gourds and pumpkins and eating cider donuts. I'll be honest... the donuts were my favorite part.

Sparkles
Day 266/366
I love the way the water droplets catch the light and give these petals a little sparkle.
Only 100 days to go in 2020. It's felt like a long haul, both with this project and life in general. I feel like this is big milestone!

New Normal
Day 261/366
This week Jevin resumed one of his regular activities that's been on hold since March. The martial arts classes that he assists with resumed at a local park. It looks a little different: face masks, face shields for instructors, socially distanced mats for the class particpants, individual equipment for each student, lots of sanitizer. Even with all of the Covid-related precautions, it feels good to get back to some of our "normal" activities.

Little Bits of Beauty
Day 259/366
I was surprised to find these sweet little plants blooming along our road. I'm sure they are some type of weed, but the vibrant color makes for a scenic view on my walk.

Fading to Fall
Day 253/366
The fading petals of the this flower stand in stark contrast to a picture I took of this same variety earlier in the summer. There's something about the imperfections in the colors and the worn, frayed petals that make this flower just as lovely as summer's bloom.
The original picture can be seen here:

Left Overs
Day 252/366
This head of seeds are the remains of some type of tall, large stalk growing in the prairie. I'm not sure what plant this is, but I loved the details in the little seeds.

Gray Dogwood
The grayish-white berries on the gray dogwood are so striking against the surrounding greens and reds on a hike through the park.
