Before I became the editor at Surrey Life, a day like today - with cornflower blue sky, dazzling bright sunshine and crystal clear air - was always enough to put me in a good mood.
Nowadays, it is guaranteed to send me into paroxysms of panic - because it means it is one of those rare windows of opportunity to get pictures.
Cover shots can only ever be taken on a day like today - so we'll be making sure we get the August cover photo taken - but we also need pics for our Beautiful Surrey series, main features, town profiles etc, etc.
This means a frantic ring round all of our photographers telling them to cancel all their plans and get out and about in the Surrey countryside instead.
Incidentally, don't forget that we also accept readers' photos for our Beautiful Surrey series, so if you fancy getting out with your camera today, too, then don't hold back!
