It was a colourful one this morning, brief, but lovely.

Today’s sunrise was a proper treat. I took up painting this weekend and maybe this was natures way of giving me a little inspiration and encouragement. I’ve been doing blending with acrylics and realise nature is far more creative than I will ever be. I shall share some of my painting attempts with you later in the week.

These all happened within the space of 15 minutes.

Definitely a lovely way to start the day.

It just got better and better.

Last night’s sunset was rather pretty, it’s a shame there is no time to walk to get a better position or view, but by the time I notice it, it’s gone within five minutes.

Today’s brief bit of early sunrise today led me believe it would be a good one. But this is all there was before the grey moved in.
Still lovely though.

Within 10 minutes, it was gone.

I love sunrise and today I was up at the right time to catch it. Not one to usually want to remember anniversaries of things, but today marks 17 years since my mother passed away. She loved pink, so maybe this one was for her 🙂
These changed within about 5-10 minutes from pink to purple to looking like the sky has become a volcano. A nice way to start the say.

The weather has definitely taken a choppy turn. As autumn turns into winter, a few good skies can still be caught at the right time.
A walk in the park the other day had some very dark clouds, but it made for a really nice contrast against the bright blue strip of clear sky getting smaller by the minute.

We only got a bit wet but it was worth it.


She has a great time running around the park, whatever the weather.

In case you – or your walls, office, bedroom, living room or other room find yourself in need of some brightness for these dark times, bring some nature and colour inside.
This photograph is one of my favourites, a sunset with great clouds taken at Haresfield Beacon in Gloucestershire. A fantastic beauty spot where I used to walk my dogs and got to see some great skies and views. A few products shown below but is available on many more (link at bottom of post).

There have been a few rather stunning sunrises as Autumn progresses. I have been lucky enough to catch them.
