SkyWatch - A Solstice rainbow


Back from the desert to the cold, cold, cold of the farm

the nights were cold in the desert too, but it was a dry cold
with incredibly clear skies
where the milky way was visible
from horizon to horizon


the pot of gold, or opals
at the other end


a heartwarming Solstice fire as the temperature
started dropping
and a rum toddy may have been
more fitting than our, none the less enjoyable G&T


while the sun slipped gently down into the red soil


Pure enjoyment, what a life!

  5. Beautiful desert scenery. I believe I might be able to handle that kind of winter. (And I'd prefer the G&T over the hot toddy thank you).

  6. Interesting scenery, shame your G&T was sub par though-rum toddy sounds delicious too though.

    1. Nothing sub par about our G&Ts, only problem was the non compatibility of sinking winter night temps and clinking ice blocks.
