A strange and unusual sight greeted the people of the West Midlands today; the grey clouds of the past weeks finally broke, revealing blue skies and a rare, bright shining light in the sky that cast a warmth onto peoples faces. Cars stopped in the roads, shoppers stopped in the high streets and countless people stood, with their hands shielding their eyes staring skyward with mouths agape; women gasping, grown men crying and children dancing in rejoicement. For a few brief hours it finally felt like spring was making an appearance...
Unfortunately while this brief seasonal shift for the better took place I was at work, and just to top matters off had meetings at the end of the day so was not able to leave as early as I would like to capitalise on the lengthening daylight hours. However, I was able to get back sooner than i'd expected and thanks to a neighbour cutting down some large trees my new found piece of sky revealed the sun all the way down to sunset. While todays animation through the bushes at the end of my garden is far from a picture perfect shot, it is infact quite a symbolic image as it now represents that when the skies do clear i'm able to image on an evening when i get home after work. Good times!
