Stormy weather

I spent ages dithering between two photos for today's blip. It was either this, or another lonesome pine. I know I posted some almond blossom only a few days ago, but I thought this looked sufficiently different ... an entrée maritime is bringing in grey clouds from the coast. It looks quite menacing, but I don't think it's going to rain here; the north-west wind is doing battle with the clouds, causing alternate sun and shade to sweep over the vineyards.
