I walk before sunrise for two reasons. I don’t want to bother with a sunscreen lotion, and I need to move before my body has time to wake up and protest. This morning, after climbing the steep hill, we were walking toward the sun as it peeked over the eastern mountain. It was similar to the shot of the moon I took 25 hours before, as the moon set in the west – two celestial orbs, one coming and one going.
After I took the photo, we walked at our usual pace. That had the effect of making the sun disappear behind the mountain again, as we walked closer to the base. The sun remained un-risen until we turned into our street. Did time stand still in those moments? Not that I could tell. We were just playing Peek-a-Boo with the sun.

I like this peek-a-boo aspect of your walks. It makes me almost want to go for a walk as early as you do. Almost, I said.

We are rising late these days. We’ll be earlier in June, and I’ll think of you then, snuggling in your bed,

My knees are 8 and 9 years old and still doing well. Walking in an environment that is rarely too hot or too cold is a big plus. I suspect your weather would often make me unhappy.

Loved this post and the wittiness- one coming and one going. Quite philosophical.

It was fun to outrun the sun, if only for a few minutes.

Our temperatures have risen, so we’ll be back to wearing windbreakers instead of winter coats. How hot are your days?

I like to walk when the day is fresh, because that’s when I’m fresh, too.
Do you walk outside for exercise? I think it’s hard to start but easy to do when it is a habit.
