How glorious! One-drive reminded me that yesterday last year (if you follow) we were enjoying the poppies down here. Rather later in the day though and without that marvellous misty atmosphere. I have been toying with getting up early and popping into Looe – have avoided it entirely thus far. You’re nudging me closer to that dawn trip…
I agree Margaret, early morning walks are bliss. Especially if a beautiful sunrise occurs. Enjoyed your capture of the poppies and I do miss those English countryside walks.
Even I can’t manage sunrise at the moment as it’s at about 4.00 a.m.! But still, an early walk, even without an accompanying sunrise, starts the day well.
Oh my! I am in awe at the beauty around you! Wow. I can see why it’s most certainly worth getting up for an early walk. Such a peaceful scene you’re blessed with. Thank you for sharing it with us. ♥
Even though I didn’t mention it, you’re right. It was one of the pleasures. That damp, slightly sharp freshness awakened my senses and put a spring in my step.
Perhaps the best time of the day 🙂 I LOVE the early morning and am out whatever the weather, all year around, ‘cos a certain four-legged lady needs her walks. Haahaa. I am lucky enough to have the company of the birds, singing as if to burst, the odd hare or two and a fox here and there. Almost always the deer are grazing and buzzards and falcons are on the hunt. Every day is different and I have come to appreciate the seasons as they change. Beautiful photos Margaret.
Wow those poppies are spectacular. Lucky to capture them ahead of the coming rain. All lovely photos capturing the softness and freshness of the morning.
And I’ve gone and jinxed the weather. It’s rained since that day. I did go out early this morning, but super-soggy trousers on a cold day didn’t really do it for me!
The early mornings can be so glorious, and really worth waking up early. You were rewarded with these beautiful sights! I am a mist fan too – like some of the others who commented.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Totally worth getting out to capture the early morning mists. The field of poppies, wonderful and most definitely a photograph that would have been spoilt by the presence of even a single, random human straying into your frame!
From Pyrenees to Pennines 
It is! Though I haven’t done it for a while. 🙂 🙂 Totally fabulous, Margaret, and thank you!
