Yes, at last, blue skies here in the West Midlands.
After feeling like I've spent the last couple of weeks in darkness we awoke yesterday to the rare and welcome sight of blue sky and sunshine. There were plenty of chores for us to do in the morning and probably even more we could have done in the afternoon. But we decided that we needed to escape, even if it was only a couple of miles down the road to one of our local beauty spots.
Look, there it is, blue sky, bright, intense, uplifting. Oh! It certainly did me good to be out and about walking in the beautiful woodland and heathlland of Kinver Edge.
Bright blue sky again! I don't believe it.
The intense cold didn't deter us. We were wrapped up, protected against the biting wind and the sun was shining. There was just the slightest hint of warmth from the sun, but it was there, enough for us. And we were surrounded by intense colour, even in the absence of buds and flowers yet to burst into life.

I loved the shadows cast by the trees in the late afternoon sunshine.
And it was good to see young life in the fields, though no sign of lambs with any of the sheep yet.
Oh yes. It was a good day to be out enjoying blue sky, sunshine and being hopeful for the Spring to come.

Hasn't it been wonderful weather the last day or two? Just so cheering after all the dark days. Love your photos - it's years since we visited Kinver Edge:)
So uplifting....but they are now forecasting snow....I used to go to Kinver Edge having spent my childhood in the Midlands, happy memories
I know just what you mean - blue sky instead of 'grey lid' - and you just have to get out in it. Lovely pictures - beautiful mossy one!
I really enjoyed this post as you know I love Kinver Edge!
Sorry the comment is a bit later! I'm having a stressful week and have only just seen the post!
