A very WARM WELCOME from sunny springtime Australia to all SKY WATCHERS!
The sky photo below was taken from our backyard as the sun was about to disappear behind some wild storm clouds last Sunday afternoon. I was taken by how the big white clouds were billowing up in the bright sunlight, about to be engulfed by the dark thunderstorm clouds swiftly moving their way.
Wind and heavy downpour followed for a good 15 minutes soaking the ground and sending gutters overflowing. There are hundreds of JACARANDA TREES in full bloom in our town right now. You can see the beautiful PURPLE CARPET which was left in the aftermath of the storm in the second last photo HERE. Have a wonder-filled weekend!

There's always something to capture my interest within our own yard. These have all been taken over the last few days.

I want to come and visit you! These are all beautiful photos. x
Beautiful close ups - love them. :-)
I am trying to get a few more fruit trees happening in my garden and a blueberry bush is on my list.
lady-beetle has my big vote; also love the blueberry; great macro shots; what camera are you using?
Beautiful photos. We planted blueberries bushes when we lived in Illinois and they were just starting to produce right when we moved here to Southwest Wisconsin.
Just magical I love the little ladybug and such a beautiful rose. My Mother use to make blueberry and blackberry pies so miss that. Have a lovely day my friend so happy you take the time to share your beautiful place with us.

Pierwsze zdjęcie śliczne, a ostatnie "smaczne" :-). Pozdrawiam
Magical shot of the ladybird. Great captures.
That Blueberry looks HUGE!
Looks like the ladybug has her work cut out for her :)
Who says one have to leave home to take good photographs !
Beautiful pictures.
Wonderful shot, you are very lucky to still have greenery this time of year. Wonderful photography, I miss the vibrance, with fall's onset and the loss of most the fall foliage to strong winds my photos have taken on a very solem look. I wish I was in your neck of the woods, but I guess I'll have to wait until next spring.
Tobias we are rather spoilt with colour all year round here. Our winters are wonderful.
Thank you for stopping by.
yesterday I made jam from the blueberries we froze earlier on in the season; an awesome thought to think that you are all about summer and warmth and increase right now... we are crawling lower and lower to the warm spots, waiting for winter's blanket to fall upon us and it warms my heart to see all your summer warmth!
the photos are again stunning!
Beautiful, I wish I could have fresh blueberries.
beautiful colors!:)
So beautiful! Amazing nature!
I truly cannot get enough of the beauty that you capture . . .
Amazing colour in each shot.

Those clouds are swirling, I can tell!

Imagine a world with no sky—
Through what would the geese and crows fly?
And where would bears go
If there were no snow
Falling to earth from on high?
