Exercise (noun): /ˈɛk sərˌsaɪz/: is physical activity that is planned, structured, and repetitive for the purpose of conditioning any part of the body.
Here caught in the very early morning,
the first rays of the chilly winter sun shine hazily
through low lying ground fog
in the Green River Valley near Kent, WA.

Exercise?
Moi?
You ask if I do?

Formal exercise,
like weight training, running, etc.
nah,
I did for a couple years a few years back,
but it was a bit too much like
punishment to me.
What about you do you get your morning exercise?

Madge, this is definitely one of the coolest shots I’ve ever encountered. Love your description also.
No strenuous exercise for me either- just some simple Tai Chi.
Madge this is one of those shots where you have to be in the right spot at the right time. Then you photography skills kick in just like they did for this great shot.
Very cool shot. Madge!
Madge, that photo is just AMAZING! I sat here and stared at it for a long time. I’m so glad I found your website because I enjoy visiting the other sites as well.
What a MAGICAL shot! LOVE it!
Wonderful shot – it really give the feeling of the chilly early mornings around here.
Exercise – lift that laundry basket, swish that mop, make that bed, bend and stretch to clean that bathtub – yes, I think I pretty much get my morning exercise. And like you – toting about cameras (I have three) and tripod and bag – oh yeah. I’ve had a membership at a gym and liked that – will probably go back to it once I’m through the healing process of this back surgery.
Awesome shot Madge. I do a morning exercise, I walk every day, but that’s about the extent of my exercise.
Nice shot! I feel very cold morning exercise. Thank you for hosting.
LOVE everything about that shot, Madge.
I’m a big walker/runner, which works out well b/c I live in the mostly-warm south. :)
What a neat, neat effect the fog gives! :)
Exercise is a four-letter-word in my book, but I do get in some walking. ;)
Absolutely stunning- my weekend exercise is a country walk and my weekday a commute…
Hi Madge,
This is my first time joining your party! Your photo is amazing! There are so many wonderful photographers in this meme.
Wow love the effect of the photo there. Looks action packed even though you can’t see the detail.
that’s a beautiful shot. i don’t exercise in mornings. i prefer to sip my coffee and ease into the day. :)
Wow, what a beautiful shot, I love the color too. I can’t exercise early in the mornings, but I tried to go for a walk before lunch :-) Thanks for hosting the weekly party Madge.
Beautiful! Love this shot!! Exercise for me includes; taking care of 8 children, managing our home, taking care of 100 Icelandic Sheep, plus other critters, taking walks to take pictures, plus 3x a week I do manage (most of the time!) to get to Curves.
Very interesting photo…I like the effect and the overall shot together! Thanks for sharing and hosting the blog hop!
What a lovely shot Madge, gorgeous warm tones. Thank you for hosting :)
Yep. Chasing kids, picking up toys, chasing kids….
AMAZING photo Madge!
This is a great shot. I love the mood of it!
Morning exercise? Lifting a coffee cup works for me. But I do try to get in a walk later in the day. A bum knee is making it harder, but I’m making a comeback. . .

Gorgeous picture, very atmospheric! :)
Beautiful shot, so dreamy but a moment of complete peace.
Magnificent photography ~ very ethereal in a way ~ Thanks for hosting ~ Carol of: (A Creative Harbor) on Blogger
Hi Madge, that’s a really cool shot! So dreamy and mysterious in that sepia tone. :) I got some good exercise today walking in a winter wonderland :)
Neat shot, Madge! I love the light you captured.
I am a dedicated walker.
Glorious shot.
Awesome shot Madge! Love the early morning light with the fog.
I don’t exercise in the morning. I sit with my coffee and read blogs. :0)
The mist is so nice. And wonder what; my latest post also covers such mist :)
Such a beautiful capture! I also love the way the sun bathes in the scenery and I like to capture that on film. Have a peaceful Sunday!
Gorgeous image! I love the light silhouette look of the whole thing! Nicely done, Madge!
Exercise? Ummm — not much in winter unfortunately! Lovely shot, Madge and thanks for hosting.
Fantastic shot! I just love it!
Beautiful shot, Madge …
Beautiful, Madge. Always a fan of your work.
I love the mystery of this image Madge… beautiful!
A nice atmospheric shot Madge. I get my exercise from birding and clicking a shutter button every so often.
I am like you with exercise…stalking the right shot is my exercise. Love the silhouette!!
One of the best shots I´ve seen in a long time. Mystery and action at the same time. :)
Beautiful photo, an exquisite result, I like the light and perspective
Madge, this is just beautiful.
I love the light, and the wonderfully dream-like quality.
Wonderfully done!
Madge, like everyone here…what a super picture! And I loved it when you said, “Moi?”…I’ll think of you when I’m at the gym tomorrow!!!…:)JP
First time joining in. Really like your image; am a sucker for horses but no, I don’t ride. ;-)
Thanks for visiting my blog, commenting and becoming a follower! Yes, I agree it is nice to connect with other PNW bloggers! You have some wonderful photographs, and I’m looking forward to seeing more of your work.
I like the mood of this shot, I can feel the energy.
Formal exercise…hate it! I walk with a friend…once in a while but not enough. Found some walking DVDs left with a family members possessions I’ve been storing and have been doing ‘3 fast miles’ about twice a week…still hate it. I guess I feel I need to do something after sitting at a desk from 8 to 5 everyday. However, if my blood pressure numbers, cholesterol numbers, and weight have not improved the next time I see the dr., the DVDs and walking shoes are going in the garbage. And I have a gym right in my office building….don’t go…like I said, hate formal exercise. Ugh! BTW, excellent photo!
Wonderful shot.

Love your shot and treatment! My exercise is the same as you, lugging my camera gear + tripod around. I do need to get some other exercise in because I think I would feel better, but I haven’t committed yet. Too many pictures to take! Thank you for hosting WTS!
Absolutely beautiful shot!
