Sunshine in the Rain

It was wild here last night. The weather I mean :)

Gale force winds and torrential rain and things were pretty much the same this morning. Waved Alan off to school and the rain was bouncing knee high.

Not a day to be going out and normally I would have changed my plans but not today as I was heading out to photograph Marion's wee grandson Lucas. He's seven weeks old already. Time is just flying.

I was a bit nervous about doing this as I am definitely not a portrait photographer but Marion has faith in me so I agreed to give it a go. Of course it had to be a day where the light was almost non existent but I gave it a good go and having uploaded the shots and had a quick look, I think there are a one or two shots the family will be happy with.

And of course I had a lovely time getting lots of cuddles from Lucas and seeing him and his mum together. There is something so special about spending time with a young mum and her first born.

The one thing I couldn't believe was how tuned in Lucas was to the minute I took my eye away from the camera as that was exactly when he'd open his eyes or a beaming smile would tickle his lips. Oh the shots I could have had! Wee monkey :)

Home in time for Alan getting in and no time to think about blip so when there was a 2 minute respite from the rain I nipped into the garden and snapped this wee primrose.

Tesco online order to do now. The excitement is almost too much.

Yawn.
