crazy light.

We were out working in the yard a couple of Sundays ago, trimming the trees, when something miraculous - which I had never witnessed in ten years - happened...

A low layer of grey clouds hung in the east, while dark storm clouds moved in from the west. But, for a few moments, the sun dipped below them and above the horizon - bouncing its last-day light off those low clouds in the east, reflecting back to the house, lighting up the front (which faces east) at sunset. Spectacular.

In a few minutes it was over, and the rain started to fall in earnest - soaking us as we hurried to get what we could fit in the yard waste bin to be recycled...
