Running in the Forest in the wake of Hurricane Sandy

It was a beautiful day in the forest!  Yes, it was spitting rain, as it has been for the last nine days.  And yes, the sky was overcast and gray.  But the forest was still beautiful.  Don't believe me?  Take a look:



 



The trees were black with rain.  There were lots of trees down as well as branches, but for the most part the forest in Hamilton had weathered the storm.  The wind had taken down almost all of the leaves, so instead of the previous Berber leaf carpet it was now shag carpet.  The colours on the ground were amazing.  The creeks were overflowing their banks and cascades had turned into waterfalls.  It's always good to run in the forest, even in the rain.
