Overcast and chilly this morning for my 5k run. Really slow time today - I stopped to snap a few pics.

Beautiful, crisp morning for a run in southern Michigan. I expected a bit more fall color tbh. Got another 5k award from my watch!

Hike in the dunes of Grand Mere state park was exceptional. Beautiful day for one to get off one’s butt.
