We visited our son & daughter-in-law for Thanksgiving. They just got a dog recently and we volunteered to walk him early in the morning. The weather was beautiful and I was so glad I took my camera with me…
It was so quiet and peaceful. I love this time of the morning…(once I’m up).
Lloyd is a beautiful, well-behaved doggie. We immediately took to each other. He is a sweetie! 🙂 He enjoyed the walk immensely. He tried chasing the squirrels but we kinda discouraged him. Kinda.
I tried to keep up with my husband and Lloyd, but I kept getting off the trail…
(I had to take pictures!!).
There were a few other people out for their morning jog/walk/run… One of them stared at me for a while… I guess it’s not everyday you see someone taking photos
on an exercise trail. I just want to say, for the record, that I did exercise…
I had to run between photos in order to catch up with my husband & Lloyd.
I think Lloyd enjoyed the scenery, too…don’t you?
When we got back, Lloyd was tired out.
By the way, my husband asked if we could call the dog, “Nacho”… We tried but he wouldn’t respond to that name. I guess he’s stuck with Lloyd. 🙂
After just a few minutes, Lloyd was asleep.
What a life!
I’ll leave you with this lovely morning picture.
Hope you’re having wonderful weather as well… Go walk your dog. If you don’t have one, borrow the neighbors’.
Happy walking,

Lovely photos!
Thanks so much!
The photographs a beautiful and so is Lloyd!
Thank you…and I agree about Lloyd 🙂
I really enjoyed your post. Your pictures are beautiful! And what a great place to walk a doggy friend.

Thanks, Wendy…You’re always so encouraging. Have a wonderful Sunday 🙂
Can I borrow Lloyd? 🙂
Haha! If he were mine, I’d gladly share. But alas, he belongs to my son who lives about 1 1/2 hrs away from me. Hey, I wonder if animal shelters have sales this weekend??! I could use a Lloyd to “encourage” me to exercise.
I actually have 2 dogs – one on her last legs and one about a year old who has WAY too much energy to call going about with her a ‘walk’ – more like a RUN! 🙂
Loved the photos–and the dog walks. We spent Thanksgiving with our kids in San Francisco (7 hours north)– and I was the morning dog walker there. Not such a tranquil setting, but fun to get out with Brodie.
Thank you!
Brodie was glad to have you, I’m sure 🙂
I have an almost-14-year-old hound that I walk through the neighborhood 3 times a day. Love Lloyd, but think Nacho would be a good name for him. Thank you for taking us along on your walk through these beautiful pictures.

Haha! Yes, I liked “Nacho”. Wow! Your dog is pretty active for being that age! Thanks so much for your sweet compliment 🙂
Lloyd is a beauty! What eyes 🙂
Yes, I agree. We are home now and this morning I actually missed him and thought how nice it would be to go on a walk with him again. Maybe Christmas time…
There is something SO special about the light of early morning. Your pictures really captured how the scenes felt to you…beautiful!
I agree about the light of early morning and how it adds a special “glow” to photos. Thank you for your kind comment!
