My early morning walk

Every weekday morning I get up at 6.15 and walk Ruby and Elsdon separately. This morning me and Ruby were in the dark and the stars were still out! But by the time I was walking Elsdon it had started to get lighter and I took this picture of Skipton in the early morning

Looks sleepy and quiet, just how I like it.

Hi Jan - I love your pic - I love this part of the day don't you xxx

Wow that looks lovely!

Absolutely Suzie, it's quiet and more importantly I get the whole of the reck to myself so Ruby can have a charge about as much as she likes with no interference from other dogs. Plus I get to do some training with her on a one to one basis. By the time I take Elsdon up at 7.00 there are a few other dogs but not many.

I do lose her in the darkness so have invested in a reflective collar this afternoon, I found myself shouting at a stick to come to heel this morning

wow 6 15am, love the pic Jan xx

Thank you Selena, it's nearly as nice as where you live

Stunning picture - never get out that early with ours - your pic makes me think I should try a bit harder.


p.s moved yr post to here from the health section

PMSL at the stick comment lol

Its really dark when I take the boys out at 5.15am - so my flashing lights are a must - but I am getting a little scared to go on the open fields now - those blooming owls and foxes screeching give me the willies lol

I also love this part of the morning when most are snuggled in bed

More pics wanted now hun xx

I know Allie, I'm on autopilot until I get to the top and then I take a deep breath and think, yes! I love it here. If I was clever enough I would do a 360 degree photo as that is how much you can see. It's like being on top of the world

love early mornings
lovely pic jan x

Thanks Liz, I should concentrate more on where I'm posting. It's definitely my favourite part of the day as you can see from above.

Suzie - it's most embarrassing telling a stick to move, perhaps I need some of your gadgets Will try and get some more pictures for you when I remember to take my phone!

Thank you Linda, it's nice of you to say that, as you live in the one of the most lovely parts of the country

I don't know how you all get up so early! I start work at 9 and get up at 8 because I only live 5mins from work.

At the weekend I walk Enz about midday. Has his food at 8am then goes straight back to sleep!!! He doesn't wake up till about 10 lol. In the week my mum takes him out about 11am

Lovely picture Jan, its lovely to walk that early in the morning when there is hardly anyone around :)

Lovely pics Jan I miss our morning walks now.
I wont go on our fields now as it is just too dark and too remote plus Reuben has become ultra sensitive to any noise and goes straight into alert mode and it un nerves me a bit so we stick to the streets

Lovely pic.

I also love this part of the day now that we have such a lovely place to walk.

I walk both dogs with Kay at 6.30am just round the block then I take Cody again but over the woods at 7am and it's just getting light but the place is deserted and we see lots of wildlife.

We then walk both dogs at the woods around 5pm and it's still pretty quiet then. I like to stay out till dusk and watch the sunset
