Golden Three Minutes

The glory was brief this morning, as the rising sun climbed behind a slit at the horizon. None of the colour reached my garden. This is rather grainy as I had to crank up the ISO to capture the light at all.

Later we had a squall, with thunder, lightening, rain and hail. It must have been wild further out on the Plains. Her Ladyship was very upset by it. She knows that loud roar is sometimes accompanied by vigorous shaking and things falling down around her. Her claustrophobia gets the better of her and she tears around yowling and trying to get out. I had to stroke her for some time to calm her.
