Is that the sun I see?

Went for an early run this morning while everything was still a bit misty.

The harvest is nearly over now so the wildlife has nowhere to hide. That made the run a bit slower as one of us (Pitta 🐕) was more interested in the paths of young pheasants, a hare and a deer than the tracks we were supposed to be running on.

Still a lovely 4.5k. And I'm really glad we went early because its surprisingly hot now 🥵😄

Thanks. I find an early morning run really sets me up for the day.

What a beautiful picture Lifluf! It really shows the ending of summer doesn’t it? Think you’re right about getting out early - it’s baking here on the south coast so I’ll be doing my run early tomorrow morning!

[Lifluf Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Hope you have a good one OGR.Yes, despite the lovely warmth there's still a feeling that autumn is waiting in the wings. I'm very fond of autumn if it's not too soggy 🤞🤞

Nice 😊 seeing wildlife is always a bonus and the photo is lovely, i would want to run there

[Lifluf Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Well it was manic last weekend as the farmers were working all hours. There were tractors, trailers, bailers and combines working all day and half the night (quite impressive seeing them work in the pitch black). But its back to peace and quiet now. Just the way I like it!🙂

Peace and quiet, perfect

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Well done getting out for an early wildlife run, really hot today ☀️ Happy running 🤗

[Lifluf Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thanks Grannyhugs. It was an early run or no run today. I don't think the dog would have managed any later either. I love the feel of running first thing in the morning though.

[Peter44 Graduate10]

Probably a good idea to get out early! 🌞🥵

[Lifluf Graduate10 in reply to Peter44]

Don't think I could have coped later 😏

You can feel the imminent rising thermometer just by looking at your photo! And sense the arrival of autumn too.

[Lifluf Graduate10 in reply to GailXrunning]

It didn't take long for the mist to burn off this morning.

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

I bet Pitta was very excited with all that wildlife out and about 🥰 🐾 what a beautiful picture, it's so evocative, I do love autumn 🍂🍁 are those pheasants in the background? Well done on that 4.5k and very wise to go out early, it is very warm out there! ☀️😎

[Lifluf Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

Yes, if you look carefully you can see a gaggle/flock of young pheasants. They don't fly away - just run - which entices Pitta even more 😏. She had a great time though.
