Had a wonderful early morning run today; a mixture of road and trail.
Saw a jay, a kestrel, a buzzard flew from a tree just 3 metres in front of me, then perched again as I ran past and wished her a ‘bore da’, and only one human (a rather nasty one, literally screaming at her dog for not behaving completely obediently).
And I thought of the Byron line (paraphrased) “I love not humans the less, but Nature more.”
