Australian Skies

As you will hear below, it has been a little cool here lately....these gum trees will also feature a little later in this post, with the sun setting on them earlier in the week.....
Despite it being a very bleak and cool day (for us ..at about 16 degrees Celsius, yes, we sometimes have a cool day in our sub tropical winter)....parts of the sky look quite pretty, especially when the sun shines through.
They were predicting that it might sleet on the mountains. I have a sister in law who lives over the gap in these mountains. I wonder how cold it is there...brrr...it looks cold and bleak! Sometimes it even snows in a little place called Stanthorpe.
the mountains earlier in the week...my signature photo! Sorry I am so addicted to them, but when they are right out my kitchen window, and where the sun sets ...well, what can you do?
There have been rain clouds around also...

here is the sun setting on the gums...(eucalypts, sorry).

I visited Toowoomba last weekend up on the range, and so will show you a few skies from there also...luckily it was a pleasant few days with warmer temps than they had been having, just right for a little birthday party!
I visited the Royal Bull's Head Inn at Drayton on the outskirts of Toowoomba....you can scroll down a little to see it featured in the My World post! There will possibly be more photos on next Tuesday as well.
the sun shone brilliantly....making for a lovely warmer day at 18 degrees celsius , much warmer than they had been having!


Well, I hope you have enjoyed some of my Australian skies this week. Apologies to those who visited and I had forgotten to post this! oops!
