Skywatch

A few representative skies from my week....a view of the fourex factory at Milton...a nice cold beer is a ...can't remember the ad even, since I don't drink beer! The skies have been mainly fine ...with quite warm days for Queensland...averaging in the 30 degrees and above...that's celsius !! Today it was up to 35 or 36 degrees...quite a little warm, esp when you don't have much airconditioning!
There is a little bit of sky there from our visit to the little "beach" in at Southbank in the city...

and the view thru the ferris wheeel there too...apologies to people who saw a couple of these photos in an earlier post!

a city ferry hurries out of the road of my citycat ferry....on the Brisbane River...

my little visitors from Melbourne....

the skies over Brisbane City

and the view of some old buildings from the ferry also....

and the train bridge...

skies and reflections at Toowong on the way home!

the skies were a little cloudy at Bribie last week....and we had a couple of "really beaut" thunderstorms, which is what I would say if I was speaking "strine" or being a dinkum aussie...which really isn't me at all...
and the skies were cloudy over the Glasshouse mountains at Bribie last week also....yes, we had a little week's beach holiday, before all the crowds got there for the holidays! Everyone swarms to the beach for their long summer holidays over Christmas. Cold salads are the way to go, unless you like to slave in the hot kitchen trying to cook a "traditional" hot dinner...not for me usually, unless the weather is wet and cool, thankyou, sorry!

there was a great sunset with a silver lining....

to finsih off ...the star in the bright sky looked down where he lay....

we went around to look at the Christmas lights display , the winner for the Western suburbs is just down the road..aren't we lucky! I notice that the "real, bright evening star" was out too when I took this photo!

Such a lot of sky to share! I read your comment on my blog just now and am sorry to hear that this season has been so difficult for you. Things tend to happen like that sometimes, don't they? I'm finally getting into the spirit of things and you are so right, Annie~ those little white lights mixed with some greenery go a long way to cheering up the insides!

Beautiful skies. Especially the reflections on the buildings at Toowong - very well captured. And the silver linings.

Hope you are well.

Hi Annie,
When I see you photos I want to be there, especially the beach photo!

We had a Nor'easter yesterday that dropped 15 inches of snow, on top of 8 inches we had on Friday!

So glad everyone enjoyed my Queensland skies for this week. I did too...the real ones. Even though I complain about the over 30 degree celsius heat, mostly the weather hasn't been too bad.

Meg, isn't it silly, while you would like to be at our beach. sometimes I think I would love to be where it snows. I experienced it once when I visited my daughter in New York and thoroughly enjoyed it especially the snow falls which I was lucky to experience...we flew in during a snow storm, nearly got diverted! But since I have bronchitis already while I am living here, and also got sick a couple of times in NY that year, which frightened my daughter, then I guess it probably isn't a really good idea!

I hope the weather is kind for you there this year.

Annie
