A walk in the Park.


I've been taking my morning dog walks much earlier than usual recently. With it being light so much earlier, and with our exceptionally warm weather, it's allowed us to head off at 6.30am, and we often have the luxury of the Peace Garden to ourselves.

Early mornings in the gardens are beautiful. The birds are singing, the air is fresh and filled with ozone, and if we do meet other dog walkers, they are always chatty and pleasant.

Here are a few photos from yesterday, starting with some old codger and his scruffy mutt.











That's it; walk over.

The gardens are looking very nice with all the blooms and blossoms.

I took the photos about a week ago, it's all much greener now, but still as peaceful in the early mornings. I'm just off with Billy now!

Early morning is just as you describe it here too. The air is so fresh and crisp and it's wonderfully peaceful. Its the getting-up thats the problem.
You've got lots of colour in your world too and beautiful green grass.

It's much greener now. I'm just back from my early walk, and the weather is perfect.

Oh, lovely sunshine. I am missing that right now.

It looks so lush! And not just the beard and fur!

Everything looks so beautiful. At hours like this I make my morning walk, sadly without a dog.

Cro Magnon said...

It's beautiful this morning, everyone's out in shorts and T shirts.

Cro Magnon said...

I'm growing the beard for Christmas.

I probably wouldn't go if I had no dog. Of course in France I go mushrooming by myself; depending on the season.

You should complain to council about no hoper undesirables in the park.

The photo featuring the sole tree just greening up is very nice. Maybe you and Yorkie Man could collaborate with taking sole tree photos.

It's much greener now. They all seemed to sprout leaves over night.

Beautiful images of Spring ..... my favourite time of year. Being out and about early is the best time ..... all is quiet and calm. XXXX

The only people around are other dog-walkers who are usually very nice. When I lived in London I would often cycle around W1 in the early hours. It was wonderful.

The best time of the day

Early morning walks are unique. Your park makes a perfect place for a stroll with birds chirping and the cool, moist air enveloping ...It''s a nice feeling.

Cro Magnon said...

I agree. Even at 6.30am there are very few people about.

Cro Magnon said...

It's a lovely spot; very relaxing.

Lovely blossom. Are we expected to know which is the old codger and which the scruffy mutt?

Debby said...

*gasp!* Billy is not scruffy! I enjoyed a bit of spring from your corner of the world. Everything is greening up here as well.

Cro Magnon said...

It's certainly spring-like here. Lovely weather; I hope it lasts.
