Sudden Sunshine on a Cloudy Day

Sometimes a change in the light is all that is needed to lift a dull view into an exotic one. The last day of the half-term holiday was threatening rain but I needed to get the boys and myself out into the fresh air so we headed to the recreation ground to blow away a few cobwebs. It was late afternoon and very dull, with the clouds getting thicker and blacker so when I looked around to see if there were any photogenic sights I was disappointed. Then the sun came out, so bright and yellow, peeking through a crack in the clouds as if it had torn its way through to get to us. The once lifeless trees burst into life with a glow I've never seen before, the trunks and bare branches appearing to glow with their own light.
