Gentleness is always welcome as a way to slowly ease into my day.

Of course, a boxer knows nothing about this. He can't understand why I am not inviting him to play.

This mirrors my morning drive today, Tonia. I can't get enough of soft fog following rivers or rising above ponds. I loved the shot with the cow. So beautiful! Thank you.

Ah... foggy mornings when kids get an hour extra to dawdle; because as a precaution, the buses will be picking them an hour later than usual ... foggy mornings when we can barely see what is below us from our perch above the city... foggy mornings when the farms full of golden corn ready for harvest hide behind blankets of white. I love mornings like that.

That's beautiful. I have been taking pics every morning of the lake and the fog. It is different every time. My husband thinks I am insane. I always tell him that he thought that same thing before we got married so what's the problem? I love your dog too!

Breathtaking! ;-) You conveyed the peaceful and serene atmosphere of the morning perfectly, dear Tonechka. And what a funny dog! :-)))

Hugs and blessings - S.

Ah, I love morning mist! And Bogie looks like he's trying to figure out why you're aiming the camera into the distance and not at him! LOL!!!

BTW, got to play with a young Boxer the other day when I was on the Cliff Walk. And yesterday on my crawl through Ballard Park the dog walker I often bump into on weekdays was in with her tribe, and we had a nice romp in the meadow in the quarry.

how do i properly follow ron's slightly maniacal laughter?

how about with a big ole "thank you" for making me take a deep breath and appreciate the beauty that surrounds...

A Bogie sighting! I don't blame him one bit for pouting. The foggy bottoms are beautiful, Tonia, and a visual tonic.
Beautiful, and so serene! Except for that cow...

what a cutie face the boxer has. i just want to grab those cheek nipples!

Bogie was so trying to figure out the game. Morning made beautiful by Tonia. :)
Tory H. Oct 8, 2008, 2:34pm EDT
Great photos... and wow, Bogie has grown so much!

Doesn't the mist do wonderful things for an early morning photograph. These are lovely.

Thanks everyone - it was a lovely way to start the day, and I just had to share.

I slept through it. Thanks for the sighting.
Debbie G. Oct 8, 2008, 7:46pm EDT
Hmm,.. "Thanks for the sighting" I like that, Sharon. :)
Madame Donna C. Oct 8, 2008, 9:31pm EDT
Oh finally, a Bogie shot! Wow!

That's definitely sadness there.
