I am beginning to walk in the morning again. In California I would walk in the evening, after work. Now I can do it before the sun comes up. As I come out the front door the horizon is just starting to warm up and the black is turning gray. By the time I finish the gray is morphing into pink with promise of orange.
Texas mornings are different from California evenings. The first morning I saw something rush into the trees as I approached. I have no idea what it was. Another morning when the moon was overhead the shadow of a soaring bird crossed my path. Today when I returned I noticed a couple of strange shapes on the lawn and managed to get the eyes of a deer and her fawn to shine back at my flashlight.
It is also amazing how the temperature can vary as I walk. It goes from cool and refreshing to the verge of sultry and back again.
The adventure continues.

You would be well advised to carry a pistol and watch out for snakes, not that the two are automatically related.
ReplyDeleteDon't have a Texas CCW yet and my wife keeps telling me about snakes. When the moon goes away I will worry more.
DeleteGrace and peace.
