Goodbye 'seamstress of summer'...


The sun was aching to break through the steely clouds, but it couldn't quite muster up enough strength to push the stubborn blanket of cloud away completely.
Here and there a few sunny rays were reaching out towards the swallows, whose feathers were shimmering in the weak silvery light.
Feathery arrows darted in and out, up and down, between rays of sun and clumps of cloud.
The swallows all seem to have gathered here this morning; maybe in preparation for flying south.
Suddenly, the sky darkened and big fat raindrops pummelled down; framed momentarily by a glowing rainbow shining out of the black sky like a neon light, as the swallows dispersed and the sunshine gave up for today...
