We drove over to Bathurst from Kandos yesterday to take a long drive in an air conditioned car and then go to the movies as a way to beat the 40C+ heat. It's nice to see a little bit of green in the grass over that way. And it's great to see clouds forming in the sky on a regular basis at the moment.
I have become a keen skywatcher of recent months. When we are out at Kandos I head to my dining room window at Rose Orchard Haus to check out the vista. The sun is now tracking back to the north, having reached its most southerly point to the left of that tree at the end of December.
And for several nights earlier this week the sky was wonderfully pink and blue. I love a crescent moon. It's is now much higher in the sky at sunset so not possible to get a shot like that now.
Despite the implied promise the storm clouds didn't reach us this week. As you can see some local farms were getting good falls which is great. We all need whatever rain we can get.
Every drop counts at the moment! We have been lucky so far with the weather, low to mid 20's, have a feeling our luck is about to run out this week! Have you noticed Joan Elizabeth that sun up is later now, more like 5.30ish than 4.30, summer is on the way out.. says me with much positivity 😊
ReplyDeleteYep. The mornings are quite dark now, especially with cloudy skies.
DeleteWe have seen clouds most days here too and the forecast is for more showers this week. Some of our Qld have had their first rsin for years so the grass is spring up everywhere. I can't wait for winter.
ReplyDeleteLike us I think you are getting more than showers now.
DeleteLove the different shies. I hope you get some rain there soon.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about Kandos, I will find out this week but we are getting plenty in Lawson.
DeleteBeautiful skies! And temps. 2-3C here - at daytime.
ReplyDeleteWe never get it that cold!
DeleteGreat blogging idea, Joan. I enjoyed your sky report so keep at it!
ReplyDeleteI will see what the skies are delivering in Kandos this coming week.
DeleteWell, it's been raining all day here and the grass is literally growing before our eyes and all our trees are beginning to sprout new growth. It's so encouraging. Loved your pictures of the sky.
ReplyDeleteHa ha. Now it's bucketing down no just raining!
DeleteThese are gorgeous skies and wonderful shots, a beautiful series. I heard on the radio this evening that parts of Australia now are getting torrential rains.
ReplyDeleteYep, lots of rain near the coast, not so much inland.
DeleteYour second shot is my favourite.
