Skywatch Friday : Sky in a bubble


Not rain droplets but from watering my garden ...



Winters on the Highveld are extremely dry ... dry air, dry 'veld' (grassland and bush), dry ground, dry skin, dry lips ... dry ... dry ... dry .....


... and gardens need to be watered on a regular basis during the warmest part of the day ... if it's too late in the afternoon then the frost hits the plants ... too early and the hosepipe is frozen .. so midday is best !!!

    I specially like the way the bare tree branches are reflecting through the drop in the first pic.
