366 Days of 2012, Day 88 - Barking Blue

This morning I was looking for a photo opportunity in our front garden. I was not sure what I was looking for. Usually I leave this part of the challenge up to chance and opportunity.

It was an odd morning, cloudy and overcast from the direction of the sun but bright blue sky behind. Then for a moment a ray of light shot from a gap in the clouds and lit up a spot on the trunk of the shaggy bark tree. The spotlight of sunlight with the beautiful blue sky behind was simply too good not to capture.
