Up with the Lark

Well, up with the Sparrow, Blackbird, Robin and Crow.

After an unsettled night I was awake very early.  Another beautiful day had dawned so I decided to try and shake off the blues with a walk.  The sun was just rising over the hills above where we stay with wonderful light on the morning dew although a tad chilly at 630am.  By the time I got back a couple of hours later I had shed my sweater as the day warmed up nicely.

Two common plants particularly took my eye.  The first rays on some stinging nettles and as an extra a sinister thistle bursting from the ground.
