That's My World Tuesday: Quiet walk until I stumbled into the Fun Run

I started off on a walk Saturday morning and was enjoying the peace and quiet.

It was a beautiful morning and there was hardly anyone else on the lake trails at first.

Some of the trees have shed their leaves letting light in which is one of my favorite things about late fall and winter.

There are also still some of the brilliant colors to light up the sky.

I like the variety of images that my world has in November.

Once I reached the lake on the trail I started to hear a low distant roar and thought what is going on.

I kept walking and the roar got louder and finally I saw a huge crowd on the field. The shot above only shows a fraction of the people gathered as most were out of the view of my lens. I was shooting from the dam and the hills account for the odd perspective.

They had numbers on but even a quick look from a distance made it seem unlikely to be a game since they were dressed so many different ways and were all ages.

Some were in jeans and jackets which is how I was dressed for walking on a chilly morning.

Some were in shorts and T shirts which would have been fine for running at a pretty fast pace since the sun would start warming things up soon. It was still relatively early.

Running it was (for a few) and once I got near the bridge and saw the fun run sign (before I encountered anyone running) I was tipped off to the kind of run it was.

Before I finished walking around the lake I encountered some young runners leading the pack, some on skate blades, some jogging and some walking. Some young, some old and some in between. When I got home I googled and found out that one of our high schools was sponsoring a fun run at Shelley Lake for a food drive. That answered all my questions. The reason my shots don't include the runners, walkers, and skaters is that once they started appearing all around me I stopped taking pictures.
