All these were taken this morning before Sun-up.
Some neighbours' houses as I set out - no lights on, nobody out of bed yet:
First light, down by the river:
Saw two otters on the bank this morning - quite close and it's unusual to see them out of the water. I had a really good view but the camera would not have captured an image and the flash would have disturbed them so no photo.
A set of Community Justice steps in the woods - it's a scheme that lets people convicted of non-custodial crimes repay their debt to society through employment on small local projects:
Some general views as I exit the woods in the dawn light:
You can see how much the light has improved in that forty minutes or so.
Going for a brisk walk before breakfast seems to set the day up in a good way. Spotting wildlife - otters, deer, herons, etcetera - just a bonus. Pity I can't add a soundtrack of the birdsong.
