Ted,
Thanks for looking.  I'm glad you were motivated to go out and run.  We
will need you hale and hearty in October out on the Cape.

Hi Don,
I like the feel of the B&W better then the colour. Maybe because in some
instances  the B&W creates a kind of realism, even though we see in
colour.
And "the loose cropping" is perfect as it retains the openness of the
park
environment. Particularly when one does an early morning walk or run
themselves. Personally I like cool and quiet the less bodies the better
and
that's why I try to get out the door by 6-6.30 each day.

In your pictures I feel the coolness of the morning air and look of the
open
space because for me they depict what my mornings start out like. Beside
it
clears the sleep fog and get's one ready for tackling a new day.

However now I'm out door! Thanks for setting the tone to get out! ;-)

Good ones.
ted
