Before the Weather

It started out as another hot sunny day. By mid-afternoon the brief moment of summer had passed. The skies blackened, then opened into a violent thunderstorm. As I said though, it had started out fine. These were taken in the morning, before the weather…
Wheat field in the morning sun

The birds were singing…
Yellowhammer

Song thrush

The butterflies were waking up…
Marbled White

And a young magpie ventured out on to an open roof.

    Lovely shot of the marbled white! The magpie doesn't look quite as smart as the butterfly – yet! 🙂

    Jill, thanks. They are such pretty birds, and so chirpy early in the morning.

    Adele, yes that magpie youngster is a bit tatty. I'm not sure sharing the gull's roof is the best idea either.
