Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 10:45 p.m. in "The City."

The NWS is showing a current temperature here in GH of 60°, but I prefer the reading from my DTWS of 62°. In addition, the barometric pressure per my DTWS is 29.36:" of Hg and steady with a "Real Feel" of 62° with the NWS reported slight wind out of the east @ one mph. Our overnight low-temperature forecast from the NWS calls for 57° under partly-cloudy skies before we rebound to tomorrow's  high temperature of 75°, alsoaccording to the NWS with an overnight low-temperature of 66°.

Tomorrow, the sun will rise @ 7:18 a.m. and set later @ 8:05 p.m.

Baseball news is that there is no news. All of my favorite teams play tomorrow. The lone exception is the West Michigan White Caps who defeated the visiting the Great Lakes Loons at home, 10 - 5. The Caps and the Loons play again tomorrow night @ 7:05 p.m.

Mary dropped me at my podiatrist appointment and when I was done, she and I took a trip to the nearby Duncan Woods for a photo-shoot. Duncan Woods is a gem in the midst of GH and almost always provides some great opportunities for pix. Today was no exception. Here are some pix in no particular order, 

Someone was gathering branches for a teepee type of enclosure. 

As I've often noted, sometimes you have to look down for a great pic.

Left behind by someone following the 2021 Coast Guard Festival. 

I like how the sun made this pic more interesting. 

This small  pine tree was pointed out by Mary as we walked the trails. 

As were these deer.

We  have no idea why these were tied around the tree.

Duncan Woods allows fallen trees to stay in place unless they are blocking a trail. 

We made it back to pavement after a hike through the woods. 

From that vantage point, I shot this pic. 

I know that in past blogs, I've referenced O'Henry's short-story, The Last Leaf, but this is the last bloom on Mary's giant hibiscus, "Pink", so it seemed appropriate to do it one last time.

A straight on shot.

And a variation on the angle to also capture some of "Pink's" leaves.

Otherwise, we mostly read, worked a crossword puzzle, and then watched the TV news and our latest binge watch, Eureka

Tomorrow, I hope to get to some music, some painting, some reading, and some retirement, as we  have only a trip to that big-box nearly everything store on the agenda. Mary will be listening to her latest novel and cross-stitching. Ciao.
