Before the Rain

I was up early, well before sunrise and with broken cloud towards the east, I made the effort to go out to one of my favourite haunts in the hope of a colourful sunrise. The weather forecast had suggested rain first thing, and as I stood here a few drops appeared on the surface of the water, but nothing of note.

As I returned home the sun had risen and there was a rainbow to the west and as I pulled up at home the rain was (finally) wetting the surface of the drive. It was short lived, I hardly had time to make a coffee before it had stopped and the ground was soon dry again.
