Morning walks are the best. Especially if you get moving about the time the sun hits the golden stage at sunrise (or at sunset if you’re not an early riser). There is no better color than that of sunlight on anything. Just look at that amazing blue sky and the sculpture like shape of the tree. #beautiful

When I’m out walking, I like to look for every little thing. Be on the lookout for things to be grateful for. I felt happiness seeing these birds taking a short rest from wherever they came from. They were hanging out, taking in the feel of the sun, perhaps planning their day, ha ha.

How cool to be a bird. Charlie (our Jack Russell) loves the big birds, the hawks that fly overhead. He growls and his tail goes straight up and quivers. He’s keeping me safe 😉 Since Charlie is often watching Birdvision (the sky) when we’re outside I find myself doing the same. Smart dog. It’s peaceful and relaxing watching the clouds (and the birds) passing by.

So this photo was taken during a walk, although not quite the “wild side” – nothing like what happened the other morning about 3 miles from here. An alligator walking between two homes in a close knit neighborhood. They scooped him up and took him to another location far away and gave him a “stern warning”, ha ha. #goodjob!

Get outside and enjoy some fresh air and nature. Look around for those unexpected surprises! 🐊 Oh, and did I mention the snake in our walkway the other day? Haha… #expecttheunexpected

✍️ Until next time…
