Sights on My Early Morning Walks
Since our excessive heat has made a way too early appearance, I've switched my afternoon walks to early morning walks while the temperatures are still pleasant. Consequently, I've been seeing a whole different group of walkers and a lot of different activities.
In the above photo, I got to watch the waste company arrive to pick up the construction dump bin. I see these big bins all the time at construction sites but this the first time I got to watch one being loaded up to take it away. This happens to be the same house I told you about back in March that has taken a whopping 6 years to complete.
To the left are the tree trimmers working on one of the many palm trees.
I loved the early morning shadows on the golf course. You can see that players were out for an early morning round of golf.
And finally, I was drawn by another pretty jacaranda tree. Such pretty blooms!

That gold course looks beautiful. The grass seems almost like a tapestry! Yes everybody has started to walk here too, we have to do some exercises when we do't want to end as fat pigs...:)
Well if looks like the house might be on the home stretch Sharon, looking forward to seeing it finished. I wonder if your beloved Botanical gardens will open soon, I know how much you enjoy those early morning walks there 💙
It is a lot colder here than normal for this time of year so early morning is cool! Only +1˚C here at 7 am. It is quiet at that early time of day.
Construction bins are so BIG in America. Much bigger than British skips!
Walking or working in the heat can make for a miserable day. I like the morning myself for the coolness too.
That looks like you are back to a "normal" life!
: )
I was on a call this morning with a colleague in upstate New York, where it was snowing
It looks like the world is a little busier there now. Much as I love the desert I couldn't take your heat.
Beautiful shot of the jacaranda. I'm not a morning person, but with the hot weather, I may have to make an adjustment!
The blooms are pretty.
