SkyWatch & FLORAL FRIDAY - Dark clouds and desert flower

We were so lucky to have a thick cloud come up

and drop 4.5 mm 

everything in the garden perked up for a little while

a slightly closer view of our rain bearing cloud and sunset

a tiny white star gleaming in the desert

for Floral Friday

SkyWatch Friday - Grumbles and a Sunrise

Some things have not been going so well lately 

and I feel a big grumbling fit coming on

on top of that, whilst driving home, I was side-swiped 

by a great big bus . . .

but grumbling is no use at all, you just chew up the nasties up and 

spit them out . . .

Sunrise a few days ago, looked like it was going to be a beauty

but gradually, it started becoming a little scary

and as the gold on the horizon glowed, the clouds darkened 

as though it were the end of the world.

The darkness seemed all embracing,

just like my mood today.

I do hope others have happier skies to offer.

OUR WORLD & World Bird Wednesday - Galahs

Just these Australian iconic parrots, Galahs, photographed in the 

inland. Dark clouds always set them off well.

I haven't managed to post or visit for a while, things have been

just a tad chaotic . . .

Do enlarge these so you can see the colour of their eyes.

SkyWatch ~ From Darkness comes Light

Sorry about my absence but a holiday, or at least a change of

scene was most necessary.

A few scenes of Perry's Sandhills near Wentworth on the

Darling River in New South Wales.

The sun hid behind dark clouds, casting the land into shadow.

A little more light filtered through

and cracked the dark clouds asunder with it's mighty beams.

We'll be back for a few days before we head off again . . .

meanwhile, enjoy life, enjoy whatever it is you have to do and

enjoy blogging!

SkyWatch ~ Cloud Gauge

The dark clouds

are slowly lightening

with a little light

and a patch of blue peeking through.
