Enjoying the weather

Party weekend in Old Town while we still have nice weather

I took this on Saturday afternoon. I’ve had a cold since Thursday so I needed to get out of the house. Saturday evening was CSU’s Homecoming so there were a lot of people in Old Town. That meant a lot of people were from out of town for the game, grabbing a beer and burger before the game and a bit of shopping.  It was perfect football weather with nary a cloud in the sky. However, the young man running around in the fountain had no concern about any silly football game as he was focused solidly on his time chasing the bubbling fountains. Every once in awhile he would let out a squeal of joy because he almost caught one, whatever that meant to him, and that motivated him to try it again. Mom and dad stood to the side and watched, with grins.

We’ve had wonderful weather the last 5 days. Today and tomorrow  are expected to be in the high to mid 70’s. But the high for Thursday is only gonna be 32 degrees with a nighttime low of 18 degrees and snow. So, we’re enjoying the weather while we can!

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    Looks like our timing was excellent in regards to the crowds and weather. Temperatures in NC are starting to moderate also and we expect to be home on Saturday.

      Yes, good timing on your part, even at the Field of Dreams game. Hoping you two enjoy the rest of this trip and it has been an overall good experience. Loved having the time with you and not just about our photography conversations. Travel safely!
