Bright morning

I have been wanting to take a picture of these cranes for a while now and on my way home from an early  trip out with a friend saw a lovely cloud formation and the sun coming through so I rushed home to collect my camera and down to the beach. I walked quite a way always thinking a better shot was a bit further down the beach ... as a result I missed my Pilates class!!!  
The extra is a very cheeky gull who sat watching me get back into the car.
