SkyWatch ~ A Desert Sunrise

A sad dawning, our last morning at Wirrealpa Station in the

North Flinders Ranges in South Australia and the first real

sunrise we had seen due to unseasonal rain events. Still some

clouds about as dawn broke and the first light grew.

The first glimmer of the sun as she peeps above the horizon.

She flexes her muscles and grows in strength admiring herself

in the mirror of the puddle on the drive-way I showed in

another post some time ago.

Shyly she blushes at the beauty she sees

and, encouraged by her own reflection, smiles upon the world.

We, having partaken of this spectacle, settle to the task of

packing having our last delicious breakfast, cleaning up and

saying our goodbyes whilst wishing all the time that we could

stay another week, a month, a lifetime . . .

Thanks to our hosts at SkyWatch we can enjoy each other's skies.
