Getting Back to Normality

I finally got some much needed rest this morning, and the routine has begun to reassert itself.  Three or four years ago, I would have probably chafed at bit at this sort of realization, but right now it feels pretty good.  I got in a little over twelve miles of pedestrian time, and "the Rat" even joined me for a couple.  I even managed to coax a couple of panoramic mash-ups out of Google.  This time they were of "the same" scene taken at two different times of day.  The act of creation in every moment really just doesn't get old to me if I'm manage to be mindful enough to observe what's going on.

When I took the shots that Google cobbled together, I was thinking that this was the early signs that the "Dark Ages" were going to start becoming an increasingly prominent feature of the walking environment. That's probably true, but my melancholy prediction was probably just a little premature.  The weather today was just about perfect.

Not quite the same perspective as this morning, but the return of the offshore regatta livened up the scene just a bit.  The clouds stuck around, but by this time the chill of the morning had been banished and the warmth of the sun had returned.  This may have been the last truly good boating weekend of the season, but we'll just have to wait and see how that plays out going forward.
