before the clouds

i headed to the laurels on wednesday evening for a run and a walk. i knew the clouds and rain were set to roll over us for a few days and i wanted to get some fresh air. i brought my camera along because i haven't been taking so many photos lately and i really do find it to be a great escape for myself. it forces me to look at things differently and from many angles. as i cooled down from my run i spotted a few of the first signs of fall here; some of them are shown below.
