I went for a run up the Sligo Creek trail this afternoon. It was pleasant in the shade, and hot in the mid-afternoon sun. Quite a few people were out on the trail, enjoying a nice, temperate mid-July day. After the warmest May on record, and June in the top 5, we've seen some welcome, cooler weather in July.
I stopped running as I came out of the park and walked up the street toward the house. I paused to stretch in the cool shade of a tree, enhanced by a breeze blowing on my sweat-beaded skin.
A catbird swooped in from across the street, landing in a low branch of the tree, then hopping to another. Agile in flight, it moved from one perch to another with just a few flaps of wings and a glide, maneuvering deftly with tail and cupped wings.
