Some pics from last week during the storms swirling around Sydney, but with a mix of sunsets taken from my Warriewood home study window.

Hopefully we might get some sunshine back soon.  

Fingers crossed.

There's a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they're absolutely free. Don't miss so many of them. - Jo Walton

As always, enjoy nature.

As always, enjoy nature.

Week ending January 31 2025

A wet week, with only a few pics, especially of the wild storms, particularly from my Warriewood home study.  I was more than happy to stay indoors.

Even in mid summer, some wild flowers thought it was a good time to bloom.

Storms make trees take deeper roots. - Dolly Parton

As always, enjoy nature.
