the latest skies from today

I loved the warm pink glow on this gum tree this afternoon when I went out to watch the sunset. It has been fine weather now for almost a month after the rain that we had when I arrived home mid June.
So blue skies have been the winter norm around here...cool to cold nights, some of the last couple have been down to 1 and 2 degrees celsius here...Brisbane was the second coldest capital city last night after Canberra, our national capital down south, and we were the second warmest capital city in the nation today after Darwin in the northern Territory...I think we got to 22 degrees yesterday, perhaps the same today!
There were a few clouds in the sky late this afternoon. Hope for a little rain yet. But it made for a small bright sunset in the sky tonight.

The gum trees have such interesting branches and wonderful little nooks and crannies that seem to soak up every great shadow that make it terrific subjects out there in nature for photography!!
What beautiful photographs!

Super sunset shots...what can you expect, winter is after all your dry season and clear skies give you cold night-time temps.
