Capturing the weather

These berries were wonderful to photograph when adorned with raindrops. They used to hang over our weather beaten fence like miniature crystals. I love this image of POD peeping through the hole in that same fence which has since been replaced.

Over recent weeks we’ve become experts at second guessing the weather in our quest for fresh air. Recently we visited the Devil’s Punch Bowl and the rain stopped just as we arrived. It was worth the risk, we were greeted with panoramic views across Surrey and a dramatic skyline.

POD was delighted there were so many muddy puddles to wade through and we even saw some wild horses.

When the sun shines you’ll see us dart out of the house so we can take full advantage. Whether it’s exploring an ancient woodland,

or just enjoying the first proper Spring day.

    Great idea to go out and about in spite the weather. We haven’t been that lucky, only been to the headland lately. Hopefully that will change soon. Love the photos as usual 🙂 x

    The weather has certainly played games with us all recently hasn’t it?! We nearly got caught out yesterday but by running late, missed a very heavy shower fortunately. And then the sun came out again! Lovely photos #PoCoLo
