Fire and Water
What a beautiful sunrise I witnessed this morning, but have to admit that it was VERY cold!!! That's Mt Muade in the background. Home for breakfast, then into town to meet my photography friends. 6 of us there today. I am posting early, as I am off to collect little 'h' from school, and take her swimming, then out to Luggate for a family dinner.
