Still Summer

Despite the abrupt turn in our temperatures (falling 15 degrees in about 4 hours one day about a week ago), we are still having daytime temperatures in the low-to-mid 70's (F) and if there is no wind it is just delightful. On Sunday I went to watch the leaders of the bicycle portion of the Madison Ironman competition hit the finish line. Since the finish line was at Law Park, on the shores of Lake Monona and along the most active part of the city's bike/pedestrian path, there were a lot of people out enjoying the day.



Doing the crossword in the sun seemed just the thing for this young woman. She was dressed for running, so I wondered if she was having a luxurious break in the middle of her run? Regardless, she nicely illustrated the vibe of the day and so I grabbed the image to share.
