I'm up in Northern California visiting my family for the extended Memorial Day weekend.
The morning air was cool and crisp.
I decided to run on the gravel along the railroad tracks towards Congress Springs Park. The rocks crunched beneath my feet with each step.
The quietness of surburbia surrounded me.
When I ran under the giant steel power poles, I could hear the buzz of electricity flowing through the power lines.
I recalled visiting the club back when I was in high school for some sort of event.
To the right of the narrow road, there were antique cars and automobile parts scattered across a grassy patch.
I immediately thought of one of my favorite television shows, American Pickers, and wondered if these pieces were worth a lot of money.
I'm looking forward to surprising my little niece by picking her up from school today.
Awesome looking photos! Great run!
ReplyDeleteloved this. for some reason this post reminded me of 'Stand By Me'
ReplyDeleteHey, you are kind of in my neighborhood. I am in San Jose.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful weekend here. The weather is unseasonably great = not too hot, not too cold.
Sounds like a beautiful run (the pictures are great too!) Enjoy your holiday weekend.
ReplyDeleteSometimes there is something special about the solitude in a morning run which it looks like you found along those tracks.
ReplyDeletePretty run! Enjoy the long weekend with your family.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I enjoy American Pickers too. I'm always amazed at how they can remember so much information- value, history, etc- about such a wide variety of things.
ReplyDeleteHow fun that you surprised your niece and picked her up from school. You're a wonderful aunt!
You always have these cool adventures.
ReplyDeleteSounds just lovely, glad it was a nice one for you!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great run! Enjoy the time off with your family. =)
