These days our morning walks are taking place earlier than before. We used to say that we needed to be finished by 9:00 to beat the heat. Now we say 8:00 is too late; we need to be on the trail before 7:00. The upside is that there is some beautiful morning light!
I processed these photos first in black and white (my preference most of the time). But I cannot deny the beauty of color in nature- even in weeds and grasses- so there is a color version as well.
I couldn’t resist this one as well- the two of us on the trail.

so glad you two are walking…..we try for awhile then something comes up….
