Odds and Sods - Looking Skywards

I've just had a look through the photos on my camera from the last couple of months and thought it was about time to do a few random posts.


We have had some stunning sunsets in the last month or so.


Mick called me out to the front of the house one evening in early January to show me this incredible cloud.  It gradually moved towards our place and we got a few pleasant millimetres of rain from it.  Not much, but enough to cool things down.


Earlier this week I noticed lovely clouds looking towards Mt Panorama in the late afternoon.


I kept an eye on them and as the sun set got my camera out again.


Our whole house glowed,  Even the eastern sky was colourful.


Wow!  The sky looked as though it was on fire.

Unfortunately, we have had very little rain in 2017.  Only about half an inch in January.  I think our area has been the driest in the country, missing just about everything, except the heat and winds.  It has been an incredibly hot summer by our standards. Keeping the garden watered has been a full time job.  It is so nice to have the water available and not be relying on tanks.  Mick is enjoying having a nice lawn.  The start of February has not provided any relief either.  Mind you, I'm sure we will back into the cold weather before we know it.
