When I went on my walk this afternoon there were no clouds in the sky, so I went a bit further than I normally do to a different location.

There was some beautiful light coming through the trees.

While I was wandering around, I noticed there were some clouds starting to appear on the horizon (well, above the tree line at least).

I wandered back towards the river, debating whether to head back to my usual locations or not.

I decided to head back because I knew I'd see a bit more of the sky rather than be surrounded by trees, giving me a better view, hoping the clouds would light up with some colour.
