We’ve spent plenty of time at Chicago’s Montrose Dog Beach, but last week we visited for our first sunrise. It certainly lived up to expectations. 
The beach was empty and serene as the first light crept above the horizon

Penny was barely a silhouette in the darkness

The cool air and warm light were a perfect for a quiet start to the day

Quiet until Penny stirred up a game of tag, of course

The sun rose above the lake as the pups revealed in their early romp

And before the sun fully climbed above the horizon, we were on our way home
It was such a beautiful start to the day. The trouble with sunrises is they’re always at sunrise, but you certainly can’t beat the view!
