early morning at the port

Good morning and have a great day

I was thinking that perhaps in recent posts it may have come across as I am complaining or whinging about not getting out for my early morning or any time of day photo walks, but today I will try and take a more positive spin on it.

Health, especially as one gets older, but to be honest, it is something we should focus on no matter what our age is. Perhaps if I had focused on my health more when I was younger, I would not have all the health issues I have these days, I did some crazy things when I was younger and beat up my body, and have the aches, pains and scars to remind me of that, but I had fun and cannot change thatnow, but now in my mid 60 I need to listen to the Drs and take acre of myself, so not being able to get out for photos for the last couple of months I had to do, and for the next gfew monsths avoiding the cold is common sense which I now seem to have found within myself.

So my new routine is to get up at my normal time, about 4 AM and get some steps in our sunroom, not trying to hit the 10K I was before as my weight is at a good level so happy if I average somewhere around 7K each day.

Then i come up onto my PC, and edit a few photos and relive the morning walks virtually and then prepare a post.

as I said I do also have some creative ideas to try for photography in my basement and picked up a few little things to help with that and will start with that soon.

NOw onto the photos I picked for today was an early morning visit to the port

it was quite dark that morning when I got there, not sure why I felt the need to say that its always dark when I head out for my early morning walks, but what isn't always there is a full moon, now this walk was when my hernia was starting to bother me so I was taking a lighter camera bag with just one lens, and if i had known it was a full moon that day I may have considered taking out my biggest lens to get shots of it, so thinking about it now it was probably a good idea I didnt know it was a full moon as thta big lens is heavy LOL

And if you have followed me for a while you will probably recognize this view, its right near where I park and I always stop and get a shot here

funnily enough this spot is kind of the opposite, until earlier this year I had walked by this pier many a time and never walked out on it, probably because it is located by a spot where cars park and I had never really noticed it
