When our daughter is at her evening swim practice, I drop her off then drive over to a nearby trail, the Huckleberry, where I pop my headphones on and either go for a run or a walk. It used to be that I could go for an hour walk, then drive over to the aquatic center and sit in the parking lot in daylight all the way until practice was over.
Now, the sun sets before 6:30, and I’m lucky if I can get a 30 minute walk in. Next week, after the time changes this weekend, the sun will have already set when I drop our daughter off.
Last night was my final evening walk on the Huckleberry, and it was a spectacular one. The clouds pinked at sunset, and starlings flew in morphing clouds in the cool autumn air.
It looks like a beautiful trail!
There’s a tree near my house where starlings fly in to roost, and they’re hidden by its leaves and branches. When I walk past in the early evening, they’re singing and chattering away — completely hidden, so it sounds like a singing tree. Quite beautiful!

This looks like a beautiful place to walk. I like to hike a couple of nights each week after work but those days are over for me too. Here’s to finding a replacement pastime for this season.
