I drove home late this evening. The sky was smudged, brooding and magnificent, like a Constable painting - grey, purple, brown, cream. The sun hung below the clouds, casting lengthy shadows. Everything was slower, airless, muted, cushioned. Is this contentment, or just a trick of the light?

I hope it was contentment, I love the way it can trick the eye into seeing beauty in many things.

Caroline - confession, as I drove home and looked at the sky I did think "blogworthy" and "Constable", but then it slipped my mind till I saw your post.
