Before archery practice this morning, like nearly every morning, I ran. On the trails where I run there are some enormous pine trees. I’ve been trying to remember to carry a camera to take a picture so you can see. Here is one of them:

For comparison, you can see the regular tall pine trees next to this larger pine tree.

Of course, after running, I practiced archery. For the past couple of days outdoor archery has been rough.


I put on every article of clothing I own to stay warm, use an outdoor propane heater and get through it just fine.

What really hurts, is heading out on a bicycle when the temperature is still in the 30s and the wind is howling.
