Early morning fragments

You will see from the last few valley photos that the sun has not really risen by the time I walk on Mondays and Wednesdays now - sunrise 6.25am: walk 6.00am.

But by the time I get to Treehaven Way there is: soft light; and contrasts; and dew drop to light the day.

And by the time I get home sun has risen and is lighting the western hills and cloud rolling over those mountains into the valley

We are close to winter - but I feel one can walk early as long as there is light to see the delights of nature.

And of course winter means the sun is in the north - so rainbows in the house.
