Sunrise Corner

Hello Lovelies,

on Saturday night I set my alarm. All week I have to get up early, but I'm too busy to enjoy that special time of day.

On Sunday morning I peeped out of the curtains at 7am and was thrilled to see a clear sky and a touch of frost. 

By 7.30 I was heading out of the door with my eldest, who always seems happy to join me...bless him.

My disorganisation this week was to forget to buy any breakfast cereal....so I guess we should have headed to the shops, but I had other plans.

I do love to see  frosty fallen leaves and I love the crunchy sound of walking over  frozen grass.

We wander along the roadside then carefully climb over the icy style that marks the entrance to my favourite footpath........

it's looking particularly lovely this morning.

I'm surprised to hear a dog walker behind us. We let him pass as he seems to be in a hurry , and I want to linger.

I'm totally thrilled by the beautiful light created by the rising sun........

The wild roses that looked so beautiful here in June are now glowing red hips.......

The sunlight illuminates this disused gateway  and everything still looks fresh and green in it's glow......

But in the other direction there is a  backdrop of golden trees.
And the icy coating on the fields and roofs show this is a chilly November morning.

Here the sun had already melted the frost on the old tractor.........

But where it remains everyday objects become so beautiful and everywhere you turn is another glorious picture.............

My companion is first over another frosty style.........

and then we are next to the sheep field..........

It looks like these ladies are waiting for their breakfast and they hurry over to greet us..........

sorry girls, hopefully your owner will be along soon.

Here the path comes out onto the road and this is where I was heading.

Each work day I drive past this field and I knew that.....at this time of year...... and this time of day.... when the sky is clear...... you can see the rising sun , illuminating the field and silhouetting the lovely oak trees on the horizon.........

It's on a bend so I can never stop to admire it properly, but today I could.....so happy, sigh.

The rays are now beginning to melt the light Autumn frost. Each blade of grass has a glittering water droplet at it's tip............

The time is about 8am and we are beginning  to get a bit hungry so we say goodbye to sunrise corner.... 

and walk briskly home, noticing the stunning colour of these cherry tree leaves against the blue sky.......

And passing this lovely old  house, with the prettiest name........

It was hot buttered toast for breakfast, and after our fix of fresh air it tasted wonderful.
