Early Morning Walk

 

Last week I did a couple early morning walks in the neighborhood. While most mornings were foggy, one was lovely. But in typical Northern California manner, the morning was very chilly. I left the house right when the sun was rising over the hills and threw some light onto the pavement.

So early, my shadow went across the entire intersection.

While some trees were already pretty bare, a lot of them were still wearing their autumn dress. It was particularly beautiful when the leaves were backlit.

With the sun climbing higher, my shadow became gradually shorter.

On my way I picked up a few leaves that had fallen to the ground. I will be using them in my journal.

Back home it was time for breakfast and a nice cup of coffee, which is also my ticket to Bleubeard and Elizabeth's T Tuesday.

To those of you who live in the US, I wish you a very happy Thanksgiving.

I love the long shadows we get at this time of year — but the very short days are a bit depressing.

You had a lovely walk by the looks of it Carola. You still have quite a bit of autumn color in your area too. And those shadows are great. It's fun to see what it's like where people live and then see how different it is when where others live. Nice mug too, and I like those peeks of all your books behind it. Have a great T day and Thanksgiving. hugs-Erika
