Before sunrise.

There were some warm colours in the sky before sunrise this morning....a suggestion that rain might be on the way. Recent rainfall in NZ has been very patchy.....and we are still missing out. Normally we would have had  250 mls by this time of year but we have only had 100 mls [so less than half the average]. However the sunny weather is special while it lasts...I had a lovely swim before lunch.
