The first signs of spring...

Another equally low tide; another photo opportunity. In total contrast to yesterday, the skies have cleared and the rain gone. It has also grown noticeably colder, with local temperatures hovering at around the 0º C mark, but the mild start to the year has resulted in daffodils coming up in a local park. Not, as yet, in bud, but still early nevertheless.

To be accurate it is not completely clear - a good degree of hazy cloud sprang up during the day - but this is far more preferable from a photographic point of view to the bland, blue sky that I had to put up with two days ago. In fact, I produced this image from roughly the same spot the lone surfer is standing on in yesterday's post, which helps to illustrate just how different it can be from day to day.

Tomorrow, rain is forecast once again, followed by another clear spell the day after that. It will be interesting to see how long this pattern continues. Still, the first signs of spring, eh? That can't be bad.
