Not pretty

A walk to the old quarry this morning, followed by zoom church. The walk wasn’t particularly pretty, it being a gloomy morning with some bits of rain and a wind that was still blustery, and with this to negotiate on the path up…

…but it was great just to be there anyway, and fun walking…

…and this lifted my heart on the outwards walk…

I like the wind, gloom and dampness, but they conspire to make it harder to take pictures – the gloom means a longer exposure and the phone is less forgiving of a shaking hand, and the wind makes your hand shake more anyway, and the dampness may also cause mistiness, either because of direct exposure or because everything’s inside a sweaty cagoule.

Creator God, we praise you
for the gloom and drizzle,
that annoying, inseparable part
of your wonderful universe.
