beautiful, gorgeous
oh most welcome rain.
we are revelling in it.
not really - we are all cosy inside. Venturing out when it is absolutely necessary.
You should all be able to see our smiles from where you are .....
summer. at last.

| view from our home a few days ago - some showers down on the coast by bypassing us ... |
 |
| almost surreal light |
 |
| always the hope that rain will build |
 |
| a little later as the sun moved upwards. doesn't look like we have been 6 months parched but although the grass is green, the trees have been so stressed and have dropped a huge amount of their leaf. underfoot is thick with brittle leaf litter . |
Further south in Australia fires are still raging.
what glorious pics! (is there anything as welcome as the sound of rain filling a tank?) ...we are waiting and hoping the rain reaches us....
ReplyDeleteHi Ronnie. Rain has turned into very scary cyclonic conditions - you don't want these.
DeleteI think we have had about 400mls or 500mls and incredibly fierce winds which seem much worse when you live amidst tall trees on the escarpment! Exciting if it wasn't so scary!
What incredible photos! I've visited the blog about your house numerous times, intending to comment, but am so in awe of it that the words won't come. What a glorious home you have.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got rain to help the parched earth.
Yep - sure have had rain.. Way too much - very scary conditions here in Qld at present. Doesn't help living in a treehouse! Now I know why we had toput in cyclone proof glass!
DeleteStunning views from your house!! The extremes in seasons are so intense- and water, such a crucial resource.
ReplyDeleteWe do get stunning views here Valerie - up and down the coast for miles. Right now you can't see much at all except driving rain and flying debris coming straight in at us! Dramatic and frightening. But at least our tanks are full!
DeleteI can smell the rain! And yes, those photos are glorious, almost like Japanese washes. What incredible views, Susan!
ReplyDeleteHello Ersi. We are blessed to be living in this beautiful area. At the moment with this incredible weather which you willprobably hear about on the news, it doesn't seem quite so magic. Rather be up here though than down on flat land. In the last 24 hours we have had about 360mls. Today though, the rain is heavier - will build today and through the night and start to move away tomorrow.
Deleteune vue incomparable.. magnifique photo!
ReplyDeleteMerci. Tres magnifique mais maintenant - a little scary!
ReplyDeleteWhat a view! We have views where I live in the UK but nothing compares with this fierce grandeur. Ours are gentle, benign and calm by comparison.
ReplyDeleteThe views over the Escarpment are amazing Charlton, but if you look back from that, we have rolling green hills like England. I think that is why we all love it so much up here - the drama and the gentility. My last home was just across the road about 200 metres along and it looked green and hilly - I planted gorgeous decidous trees and planted an English garden. It is now a very up scale B and B so I can still visit and see how the garden and trees are growing. Always a thrill. This home is poised on the edge, looks and feels industrial and I love it. MUCH easier for me to look after .....
