An End of the Sunshine

It's not often that one can photograph the moment when the weather changes but this picture of this morning's sunrise shows the arrival of the blanket of cloud which is moving southwards down the west coast of Scotland.  By the time we set off for a walk at 9.00am, the sky was grey.

We've had over a week of almost non-stop fine weather, with sunny days and clear, frosty nights.  The sudden daytime warmth has left us with a legacy of the first spring flowers: this lesser celandine is one of several growing in a south-facing roadside ditch.
