"Look around, breathe in, and be thankful" - unknown
For the last three months that we've had our puppy, Chessie,
I have had early morning walk duty - my choice.
Most mornings, it's still dark when we venture out
Weekend mornings - Chessie seems to enjoy "sleeping in" as much as I do,
and we postpone our walk until the sun begins to rise
- and a paintbrush has splashed it's colors against the sky.
I am thankful for these early morning walks with my pup,
and the awe I feel at the beauty surrounding me.

Worth getting up early to see this delicately beautiful sunrise sky - & enjoy time with Chessie!
ReplyDeleteI’m an early riser, Karen, though unfortunately I don’t have a pup to walk. I just love to see light seeping into the dark sky and spreading a glow to the mountains. Enjoy those early morning puppy breaks (potty breaks??).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Sun was really trying to grab your attention.
ReplyDeleteEarly morning is such a nice time. I enjoy it in the summertime, when I am off from teaching. During the cold months, I like to linger with some coffee! Thanks for linking up today and have a GREAT weekend!
ReplyDeletewhen i see this beauty i wonder why i sleep in....it is the best time of day!!
ReplyDeletei would stick with mornings, this is definitely worth getting up for!!!
Hello, lovely sunrise captures. I would prefer the early morning walk with Chessie too. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteHow very blessed you are. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeletepups make every moment better
ReplyDelete...and it's always good to take one of those moments to take beautiful shots like that for your friends :)
Gorgeous morning! I wake early, but rarely go out and watch the sunrise. Maybe I need a puppy to get me outside!
ReplyDeleteIt’s really a beautiful dawn through the silhouette of trees and painted sky! Such walk sure to make the day wonderful and a pup is great companion to walk out. Our pup can’t make more than 200 meters
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like a dog to get you out of bed early, but yes those moments are priceless.
ReplyDeleteI do the same with my dog, Karen!
ReplyDeleteWe hit the road at about 5 am on weekdays, and I let her wake up on her own on the weekends (which is only about a half hour longer). I absolutely LOVE being outside when the city is so quiet, and especially now with all of the beautiful Christmas decorations.
Have a wonderful week!
