Clearing skies?

After a day of sparodic downpours and grey overcast skies, it was lovely to see colours reflected in a clearing sky at sunset. It didn't last for long though with more heavy rain within a few hours.

It was another hot, sunny day on Tuesday; not quite as hot as Monday. Cornflower blue skies in the late afternoon were dotted with white clouds and a light breeze. Black wattle trees are starting to flower, dragonflies hover and dart around the tree tops. In the evening it cooled a little making sleep more comfortable.

It was hot on Thursday, brilliant sunshine, humid, hot. At the end of the day bands of light pale clouds drifted across the sky, I thought they looked rather beautiful.

It was hot and sunny on Tuesday with clear blue skies until late in the afternoon when a light cloud cover formed. I love this time at the end of the day when the air cools slightly and for a short moment, if the light is right, the landscape takes on a wonderful golden glow.

Recording observations of weather and sky again this month, I can't help but ponder the uniqueness of each moment. Weather never stands still, the sun is always moving, or the earth is, incrementally; clouds, breeze, temperature, a constant state of flux, making every moment unique.

I took the first photo as I walked down to the letter box, after I wondered round the garden I took the second photo on the way back up to the house.

Late afternoon January 4th & 5th

As the sun was setting on Monday, dark clouds that had hung in the sky throughout the day cleared to reveal clear cerulean blue. A cool breeze dropped temperatures overnight for a more comfortable nights sleep.

The sun came out today, radiating heat from the ground and raising humidity. Now as the sun sets an opaque layer of light grey blankets the sky. Cool air is back again, the thought of another unclammy night is welcome.

A storm looked as though it was brewing but I feel the wind was too swift and just carried rain that might have eventuated with it.

(No one was walking their dogs this afternoon...)
