Yay, Here's the sun

I took this photo on the way to church this morning, portrait first, then as I turned the camera around to landscape, the sun had gone!  The sun has peeped in and out of the clouds all day.  Hymn for today is 'And Can it Be'.
I went for a nice long walk in the sun this afternoon, just over 10,000 steps.
