Color Change

I had noticed the maples around Columbus starting to change colors in the last couple of weeks. Color change is not something that I'm particularly used to in trees since there are mostly evergreens (or no trees at all) in the areas I've lived recently.

In my true fashion, I went out to a park to see the change in all its glory. Luckily, despite being in a midwestern metropolis, there are metroparks on the outskirts. A twenty minute drive put me at Highbanks Metro Park to explore and start the break-in process of my mountaineering boots. My partner in crime, Annette, taught me about the flora and laughed at me getting used to walking in boots that don't allow ankle-movement or heel-to-toe rocking. We hiked about 8 miles on the trails before heading back to the city to work on our respective proposals.

It was nice to get out and do something for a change.
