The Sunday before Christmas, the husband and I decided to head up the hill to Old Economy Park for a little hike. It was the first day since the beginning of December that there wasn't snow on the ground. With temperatures hovering around 55 and 60, that will happen. Since it was so nice, we decided to take advantage of it and get some fresh air.
We have been up here before but never really gave ourselves time to explore. This day we did. And we discovered a connection of a running route to the park. I am excited to explore that route and other trails within this park more when I start the longer runs for my 13.1 training.
It is so nice to reconnect with nature even when it's somewhere you have been before. Does the body good for sure.
Do you enjoy spending time outdoors?
Do you have any parks you like to explore near you?
What is your favorite part?
until next time
i have to admit we are pretty spoiled out in portland with awesome parks all over the city !
ReplyDeleteIs it weird that I can almost smell the air in these pictures! You did an awesome job capturing the beauty of the area! :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures dear! I love any nature pictures period. Especially when it is freezing cold outside and I'm dreaming of warmer weather with nature hikes and the SUN!

I really like the photos of the leaves underwater. It feels like velvet.
ReplyDeleteOoo I love these pictures. I really don't have a good park close to me unless I want to drive a half hour. So usually no park running for me :( But I'm glad you found a good one! Just lovely.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a really nice area to go hiking! We used to love doing that but right now it's just a little too cold for it for us! I love all your nature photos! Stopping by the Weekend Blog Block Party! Thanks for linking up with us!
