Today was a pleasant day considering that it is Winter, the temperature peaked at about 16º Celsius, much warmer than yesterday which had the coldest June morning recorded in 61years. No snow here but colder than the average Sydney temperature ... just plenty of frost on the grass, ice on my car windscreen, the water in the hose was frozen and a chilly minus 2ºC.I do realise dear friends that these are 'tropical' temperatures compared to the blizzards and freezing temperatures you experience in the Northern Hemisphere ... :-)
There was plenty of snow in the colder areas of inner New South Wales and great conditions for the snowfields.
I couldn't resist photographing my tree again today, this time from different angles, it looked so pretty as the blue colour of the sky changed considerably when the clouds obscured the brightness of the sun momentarily until it broke through again in all of its pristine Winter beauty, sitting low in the northern sky.
There are still remnants of green leaves hanging on to the branches, as are the amber, gold and russet leaves, just waiting for that sharp breeze to come along and scatter them to begin their random journey...
