Weather was dreadful most of the day - windy and very wet.  I was in town until 3.30, but when I got home the wind dropped, rain stopped, and the sun came out.  I took this picture at about 4pm, when the low sun was giving a very warm light and casting good shadows.

A couple of extras today: a brave blackbird, and a shot showing this (female blackbird?) with all the sparrows behind her.
