Skywatch Friday

This week has been amazing....sunsets, storms, wonderful photo opportunities.










the storm approaches.

and lovely rain..just what we needed!



There were actually two levels to this wonderful glorious sunset...the upper one, and the one below. I couldn't work out how I could get it all in the one photo. Sorry about all the gum trees, but that's the way it is around here.








And on my morning walk, I discovered that there were birds building this nest. I also discovered that I also had the moon in the same shot!




can you see the bird's beak peeping out of the nest?





Another glorious sunset....








this is the view from the back verandah during the day..well, on a clear day!
the view from the back verandah looks out to the Great Dividing range..and Cunningham's Gap...

sometimes the colours are just great!





Hope you enjoyed my week of sunsets, storms, and blue skies and birdsnests also.

The gum trees give your photos such a mysterious lacy look.

I love them :)

What a week you have had with so much beauty in it and the chance to stand and observe such a charming building site, and high rise too. That rain is desperately needed in South Oz, our dams are dry and we have to sell of most of our stock. so lucky you on so many counts.
