Day 180 - Late in the day

Cold, late-afternoon sky. I'm not out in the backyard much these days, but when I am, I love checking out the changing backdrop to the trees. Winter has its own colours. I've been thinking how much less interesting Summer-blue skies are, with the hot sun bleaching out the tones with its shimmering heat. I love the depth and contrast of Winter colours.

Day 73 - Rain

I thought these were interesting lines of cloud. This morning dark skies promised much needed rain, but so far it's been disappointing. This was more of a performance than effective outcome. But wait, I can hear a deafening sound, the comforting sound of a downpour, refreshing leaves and grass, and soaking the ground.

Day 71 - Doing the laundry

My laundry window faces west and enjoys a sunny aspect. Until recently, when our neighbours built a disproportionately high roof, we had a great view of the night sky, the stars and planets. If you're wondering about the tap handles, they were on special.
