early dark

The air is crisp, the days are growing shorter. It was still dark this morning when I awoke, and I knew that the sun would drop during my (early) evening walk. It was dusky by the time I returned home.

I'm glad I grabbed and wore my bright blinking lights since I share my walking roads with vehicles that are a lot bigger than me. It makes me smile when I see the cars swing wide, giving me plenty of safe walking space.
