Early Start to the Day

While most same people were sleeping this morning, I was up in the middle of the night, scanning images and sets of images via Flickr River, and enjoying my coffee.  Resigned to being an early riser, I decided to head down the Harte Trail with my bouvier for our ritual morning walk, rather than go back to bed for an hour or so for some more sleep.  Today, we walked all the way to Elmhurst and back, a distance of 5 miles, our longest walk of the year, so far.  I must say, after that walk, it was nice to sit down in a comfortable chair, put my feet up, and have another cup of java.
