Still from my wondrous early morning walk at Arkaroola:-
look back towards the sunrise and all the morning glory colour
has left the sky.
to compensate, cotton-ball clouds adorn one quadrant
as the early morning sun makes the uncharacteristically lush
vegetation glow
in shades of shimmering gold.
More unseasonal rainclouds well up
and just when you think all the red has faded from the earth,
there it is once more in all it's tantalising depth of colour.
Do click on the SkyWatch Logo at right and enjoy the skies around the world.

ReplyDeleteA wonderful walk Arija. Yep, that was an excellent morning! More than excellent (any morning when I can get out of bed is excellent at my age ;>)
ReplyDeleteThe mix of colours and shapes is wonderful. The cotton wool ball clouds are lovely too.
