Autumn has come early this year and with a vengeance the outside thermometer was reading just over 4C!
I wrapped myself up in my cold weather cycling gear and headed out for the trails, I could not have imagined what a beautiful morning it was going to turn into!
It was initally hard going as the cool morning arin bit into my muscles and chilled my fingers even inside my cycling gloves!
There was a beauty in the long morning shadows as the sun crested the tree tops.
On the open trails mist drifted;slowly as it was burnt off in the warming rays of the sun.
In the newly planted sections shadows danced across dewy brances, cobwebs and browning leaves.
Were the sun cut across the trail were warm golden pools of light where I could stop a while and enjoy the warming rays.
But the trail beckoned me on long vistas drawing me on.
The chill air bit hard and muscles protested and would not warm, it was hard work, but worth every effort
Where the trails give way to farmland the golden mist hung low on the fields
Horses in their snug blankets grazed in Autumn pastures.
The beauty of a cold morning like this, it reminds you your alive, and how beautiful this world of ours can be.
Have a wonderful day and may your God be with you;)
