Yesterday morning I went with Totti for our daily morning walk – but soon realized that this morning would be something special. Frosty, no wind, sun from a clear blue sky. This grey autumn, there has not been many opportunities for the two of us to really enjoy the early mornings… so, I went back after three minutes, grabbed my camera and the car keys – and off we went.
The path starts 5 minutes from my home, up in the forest. No cows today, they have been taken to the barn for the winter. Silence, but for some small birds chirping happily in the first rays of sun. Follow the path down and turn right at the bend, and you will soon see…
…your own shadow on the left side of the path, in the golden morning light.
In the corner, down to the right, the shadow of Totti is sitting down, waiting patiently for me to go on walking. And not only his shadow…himself as well…
On turning right, the sun is peeping through the old trees in the east, gently providing long shadows and turning the frost into shiny green.
Totti is enjoying the fresh air and some good rolls in the leaves. Breathing is easy – and I feel so grateful for being alive on a day like this.
As we walk down the path, I look right – and a wall of glorious trees is looking back at me. This is indeed my country.
This morning, I will remember during the long and rainy winter days to come. But now, both Totti and me are getting hungry for breakfast… having spent some refreshing, silent hours in our favorite landscape.
I hope you are returning with me – or else you will not have any breakfast!

Njutit av dina vackra höstbilder med sol. Vi har haft moln och dis i flera dagar så nu hoppas jag på lite bättre väder.
Ha en skön söndag.
Detsamma till er – hoppas ni får sol ni också!

Haha thank you !
Such a stunning light, these photos are gorgeous. Definitely a moment to remember and capture with your camera
These are some of the moments I treasure the most in life.
I feel peaceful now that we’ve had our walk and I’m ready for a big breakfast! I love the header shot and the one with the mossy stones reminds me of the path I walked near my s-i-l’s house in France.
