Morning is my favorite time. I like the quiet, the promise in the new start of a day, the relief of having made it through another day and all is still well with my world. I like the feeling of unlimited possibilities that seems to be my morning experience.
Mickey and I went out for our morning walk, all bundled up against the cold. Or, at least I thought we were bundled up until a neighbor rushed by admonishing me for not wearing a hat in this weather. Oh, well, it’s all a matter of perception.
Walking East toward the rising sun, I noticed the windows of the brownstones across the street sparkling like jewels. 
Up ahead, as the sun’s rays reached out into the heavens, there was a glow in the bare tree branches, like a light bulb…
it seems that plastic bags tangled in tree branches are a good way to catch the morning light!
Morning light is a great time for color saturation in pictures both with the naked eye and the lense! Lovely.
Thanks, Saymber. Maybe that’s the magical quality about it!

I think it’s also looking at the morning beauty with a sense of gratitude for getting to witness it!
Ah, there it is, the Truth is that Gratitude is the great enhancer of the human experience!

Margarita,
Hello Mickey. A good morning to you two…
Eric
Hello, Eric. So nice running into you in our neighborhood! xoxoM
M, love the pics and the shadows of you two on your walk. You are brave walking in this cold this morning!!
Thanks, Brigitte. Nature was calling…in, oh, so many ways! lol xoM
I actually OH!’d out loud, when I saw the third photo. A very lovely neighborhood, you’ve got there. Infinite photo opportunities, as well. Thank you for sharing your early morning hours. My favorite time of the day, too. “Gratitude” — I’m with ya there too. Have a wonderful day, my Friend. XXX
Thanks, Victoria. Yes, it IS a very photogenic neighborhood! I’m so glad you enjoyed the images. Had a chance to take some B&W images…maybe tomorrow…xoxoM
I love going on walks with you!
Thank you. I love taking you! lol xoM
Good morning M, I know I’m late! Silly time zones. Lovely photos as always!
Thanks, Maggie. Must’ve been morning when you stopped by! The nice thing about the blogosphere: you can’t be late! xoxoM
Looks very pretty! No snow?
We’ve had very little snow this winter, a mere dusting. It’s been relatively mild until now. Climate change seems to mean just that: change. Winter is not presenting as we think winter should present. It’s disconcerting! xoM
I’ve been supplementing my morning workouts with more inside exercise this week. It’s so cold to go walking! Kudos to you for braving the weather and finding inspiration in it.
Mickey is a great inspiration, JM. He likes his routine and takes me along with him!
