Big blue sky. View from Rose Cottage

When working at home, my commute involves a wander from the house across the garden to the studio, allowing me to gaze at this.

The forecast for today wasn't that great, but we woke up to bright still sunshine, albeit pretty chilly. The sky looked so clear blue and big, I couldn't resist this being today's blip.

The farmer has sown his winter barley so the fields have quickly transformed from the post-ploughed dark brown to this lovely haze of green. I just love the winter light on a day like this, warm & lovely long shadows. Perfect way to start a working day.

It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it.
