Worth getting up for...

Contrary to what Tricia might think, it is worth getting up in the morning. This was taken from the doorstep as the sun was rising at 7:59 am. Half asleep I probably didn't compensate enough for the sun but it does capture the moment. Not a breath of wind, high tide with the sea in our garden and plenty of colour already.
The day went downhill - the sun went in, the blue sky became grey and it started raining - all the time accompanied by a biting wind. It was Tricia's spinning day so we went down to South Uist and I wandered about whilst she was spinning. Glaucous and Icleand Gulls seemed to be everywhere but little else was on offer. Glad to get back to the warmth of the house at 5 pm.
