The skies

I happened to be over at the small aerodrome this time last week, driving past, and thought this was an interesting shot. Some one was hosing off his light aircraft in front of a slightly larger one. The skies were terrible that day, so smoggy and windy!
And I think this might have been taken around the same time, it was hard to get the camera to focus on the mountains. Sometimes it will and sometimes it just won't!
Apologies to those of you who may have already seen a couple of these shots in my Today's Flowers and My World posts below.
It was a very pleasant day on Sunday after the winds had blown most of the smog away.
These shots were taken at the Mt Cootha Botanic Gardens, where there were a lot of families out enjoying the warmer sunnier day.

We have had quite a lot of dreary dismal overcast and rainy days lately.
These shots were taken at the Brookfield Showgrounds. A lovely leafy rural area, not too far from the City centre.
More rain was on it's way!
