a tree with tiny orange leaves and black branches in front of a cream-colored house with a bright orange pumpkin on the steps that was the same color as the leaves
a tiny mouse that scampered away from the edge of the road and up a telephone pole as i ran by
a deer, not more than 10 yards away from me when he bounded away from the road. if he hadn’t moved, i may never have even noticed him. and he was so big!
the lake, through the trees (becoming more transparent as they lose their leaves, as i ran over the highest hill on my run.
