RAINY SUNRISE

We've had a lot of rain over the last two days with cold, short, grey days. This morning the sun peeked through the clouds as it rose, with rain falling till the sun was hidden by clouds again.

PERENNIAL

Always appreciate the fact that most of our native trees here in Australia are perennials and that our Winter is relatively mild. This gumtree (eucalypt) is looking pretty spiffy on this mild late Autumn day.
