Diary January 20th 8.11 am this morning. Here I am, on a particular spot by the long road, looking to the right at the first peep of the sun over the top field; then, from the same place I am looking down to the left at the flood water, bathed in the purple shadows of the sun; a second between shots. Yeah!!!!It was outrageously cold…

What a difference a day makes
Gill McGrath© 8.33am Sunday 11th January
At 9.30 am, it was still a rain swamped view out of the little window which looks down the hill and up to the horizon, and the little trees. Just then it looked as if rain would hang there all day…..
By 11.30 am there were suddenly chippy excited bird noises outside up there in the sky and it was looking good. Sun! Yeah!
At 12.30 am there were still lots of gorgeous white fluffy clouds rolling around up there in the blue and it all looked brilliant. And so did the fields and the shadows…….

At 3.30 pm (back home) and looking over the garden from the window that looks towards the sunset, the sun could be seen in bright free fall again…..
And by 3.35 pm with the sun all gone, honey stains still lingered for a while. Oh!….I almost forgot…..4 o’clock….
By the little window again…. the window that looks down the hill and up towards the little trees……. and a piece of sky…. and the singing lines ……the slow purple pink dance began.

8.29 am I am passing by the mists rolling around to the side and heading further along the road which is clear…..

8.30 am I am turning the bend passed wooded bits to the right…….
and getting closer it seems …
……closer towards the sun which is climbing out of a mist. Soft light…..
By 8.32 am The sun starts to disappear. Here it is still a small sliver. Just about visible….. in its own mist!…..
then by my feet ~
a small voice starts to sing
in hill mists still thickening
the bejeweled stinger
now firmly unstrung
from it’s cobweb
unable to sting
sings silent
music here
all over
again
8.51
Home again
Frozen
with coffee

Perhaps I am getting carried away here but the watery reflections look like Edvard Munch ‘Scream’ (1893) ~Wikipedia details link~

Gill McGrath© 4.00pm A bit late I took one photo of the sun on a clear sky, peeking through the copse opposite. Realising I had missed the golden globe I decided to walk over to the lower fields, west; beyond the trees, to find it….. in cloud by then
