"In every walk with nature one receives more than he seeks" John Muir
We had a downpour in the wee hours . I was tempted to pull the covers over my head and sleep in, but I made the wise decision to get up for my usual early morning walk.
And what an amazing morning it was. Walking through the mist, the air cool and wet, made me feel like I was walking through an enchanted forest.
Trails I should know by heart seemed strange and other worldly; inviting and enticing me to explore deeper into this dreamy landscape. 
What a delightful way to start the day.
From the look of it, a morning not to have been missed! The earth might have been yours alone to enjoy. What a wonderful, lovely gift.
ReplyDeleteThe earth was mine to enjoy! At least my little part of it. I think everyone else DID sleep in after the downpour. So I had the morning and the trails to myself. Glorious!!
ReplyDeleteI really like this series of photos in forest, they are so magical.
ReplyDeleteThe misty forest is so beautiful!

Hi Janie,
ReplyDeleteThank you. It makes for a beautiful start of my day to commune with nature in all her glory.

Wow, Rita. Those pictures are wonderful. No wonder you like to get out early.
ReplyDeleteHi Michaelle
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to get out early, and one of the benefits is, I usually am the only one there, so it feels like nature putting on her gloreous show, just for me. :)
Peace and Joy

Scrumptious series of photos! Misty mornings are so lovely.
ReplyDeleteHi Jain
ReplyDeleteI am addicted to my early morning walks. And each one is so different. The mist does add a little enchantment, which is hard to capture in a photo.
