Each morning between 5:30am and 6:15am (depending on Summer/Winter or Daylight savings time) Quigley and I head out for our morning walk.   Nature is at it's best this time of day as we watch the sunrise,  it's often very dark when we start and the lighting is just becoming perfect when we return about an hour later.   Over the last week,  this has been our view…..the blood reds are really just that at 6:46am this past week.

Quigley takes a Moment to take in the view…. sometimes the stream is full of birds.  We see hawks, woodpeckers, rabbits, coyotes, ducks, mallards, geese, amazing wild-life….and sometimes, it's just a peaceful quiet morning…in nature.

This is now 7:44am

Sometimes life has a way of giving you the blues…. too many things go wrong and its just hard

to understand……… but just try to pick yourself up and get back in the race..
