jhetleyMasses of the brilliant purple asters by the roadside, mixed again with the chicory and goldenrod. More milkweed pods starting to split open. A few of the highland trees turning, red and orange and yellow.
Flock of about 10 turkeys by the roadside, about 4 miles into my route. No threat postures, at least one tom. Airport metal birds limited to a couple of commercial takeoffs and the Army whirlybirds. No roadkill beyond a couple of small patches of flattened brown feathers.
Got out on the bike, temperature about 62 F when I headed out and 75 F now, wind gusting over 15 mph but at my back on the way home. Did not die.
