Once a cold front blows over this little patch of earth where we live (Gauteng, South Africa)
the sky is this magnificent blue with not a puff of a cloud to be seen. The air is crisp, cold to freezing and dry ....
This is at my grandson's 6th birthday party last Sunday (he is the one second from the right)
Just blue ..
through bare branches of the Silver Birch in our garden

I love the picture of the children lined up at the fence. Wouldn't that be the perfect moment for Tom Sawyer to show up and convince them that they wanted to whitewash auntie Polly's fence? (http://www.pbs.org/marktwain/learnmore/writings_tom.html)
Great pictures. I love clear winter days. Great shot of the pictures of the kids. It looks like they are all having fun.
ReplyDeleteI love that bark. Great against that wonderful blue.
ReplyDeleteAvril,
ReplyDeletegreat photos...it is so strange you are starting winter...and we are starting summer...looks like the kiddos had a great time..
Looks like a fun party! I really like the last shot of the birch with the bark peeling.
ReplyDeleteI love that last close up of the birch trunk - they have the most interesting bark! That looks like such a fun party (and a perfect weather day for it too)!
ReplyDeleteThe blue cloudless sky is just amazing.
ReplyDeleteGreat photographs Avril, loved them all will enjoy looking at your blog often. Keep up the good work. Love Lyn from Perth
