I look forward to seeing Beltaine morning in up on Glastonbury Tor, when the conditions are right the views out over the low mist filled Somerset levels are fantastic, and this morning was one of those mornings. So clear were the skies eastwards that they'd begun to lighten noticeably by 0430 and you could see out across he flat levels landscape for a considerable distance. Above, the sky grew increasingly blue, as at the horizon a soft yellow orange hue took hold, and as it did the clouds, which hung fragmented to the west, were captured and coloured by the approaching sun, a mix of salmon pink and purple grey hues. There appeared a period when the sky stopped changing, as if fixed in anticipation of an action, and then a feint glow, followed by a shining golden thread...the sun was rising. I'm always struck by the speed at which the sun appears to rise. ''Red sky in the morning, shepherds warning'', that's what they say. We'll have to wait and see. The colour soon drained from the clouds as the sun rose proper and the day began in earnest. I know though, that as Bill Withers said, ''it's going to be a lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, love-ly day. Beltaine blessings y'all, may your seeds find fertile ground.
