on little cat feet.

It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

The beach is so incredibly peaceful, calm and quiet at 4:30am.  Oh yes, I was here that early.  lol

I love these two in B&W, I was surprised because I don’t think I’ve ever seen a sunrise (or sunset) photo work out very well in B&W!

Since there was nobody on the beach with us that morning, I let Peanut run around off leash.  He never strays too far from my side anyhow.

and just for the fun of it, I shot a video so I could always be able to remember this calm and peaceful moment.  :)
