7/3/26
Friday was one of those rare mornings when I awoke at 6:30 am, and actually felt like getting out of bed. I quickly went out for a walk, avoiding the direct rays of the rising sun and enjoying a temperature a few degrees cooler than what an hour or so later would yield. Two doves were just outside our door, roosting on the sprinkler pipes that run along the ceiling of our outside walkway. They aren't used to me disturbing them at this hour of the day and they flew away from near our door up to the roof of the stairwell that takes one down to ground level.
The angle of the sun makes for good shadows and I played around with photos of my own shadow as I walked. The light was also good for textures revealed by the almost white and black appearance of the base of a palm tree.
With the inspiration of painting a watercolor version of a red flower I photographed, and the reluctant company of one of our many rabbits along the way, and after a lengthy break from exercise-this early morning outing seemed like a perfect way to start the day. 
But Jim made the morning even better. We went out for breakfast at Waffle House, and ignored our diet plan for at least a few yummy moments. Now back to behaving!
