SkyWatch ~ Sunrise


Unusual for me I know, but just one shot of this splendid
sunrise. I am packing for a trip to the Flinders Ranges and
a coastal town on the Eyre Peninsula for a week or two.



Do enlarge it to see the full beauty.

I hope to get in some bird watching, fishing and painting while
away.

Be kind and leave some comments for me to come home to,
you know they brighten my days.

Keep safe and well until my return.

    Beautiful, beautiful. And thanks for the info below that eucalyptus trees flower and are hybridized to do so in color! I didn't know that. Where I used to live in Northern California, there were many eucs but I never saw any flowers. Maybe I just didn't notice. If there were red flowers I sure would have!

    Hope you had a good trip.

    Ahh Flinders ranges eh? Have a wonderful trip. The abandonned homesteads always make me sad, how wrong can we humans be in reading our environs.

    You've picked a wonderful time to go. Wishing lots of wonderful sunrises!
