The weather here in North Carolina is warming up for a few days. It will turn cold again, but spring is just around the corner. My morning began early with a run and then archery practice. The warmth was great for running, but there was a bit of wind to frustrate me while shooting.
The run was wonderful with temperatures in the mid 40’s. River, my canine running partner, remained committed to sprinting through standing water and filled ditches that remain topped up because of the recent rains. We did pause while I tried to photograph swans in their flying pattern as they passed above us.

After running I shot for an hour then stopped when the wind became too much. I suppose the rapid warming of the air has brought with it the wind. Still, it wasn’t a bad morning for running and shooting.
