Changing skies...


This morning when we began we had heavy overcast skies and even a hint of drizzle...and just after the first gun change, the sun made its first appearance and held on for that entire stretch of dogs. About the time of the second gun change skies clouded back up again and now there is just an occasional burst of sunshine.
