Golden Hour After a Gloomy Autumn Day

I got my crystal ball (a must for 365, I think!) a week or so ago but this was the first time I ventured out with it. It was a grey gloomy day but just before sunset the sun peaked out for a bit. The light was beautiful but fleeting so I only got as far as my garden!
Today is my birthday so it seemed fitting to try out the new 'toy'! 'Tis a bit tricky!

This is lovely!
I don't particularly like my hands so I tried to crop as much as possible, but keeping the ball whole at the same time !!!!!
