It's Spring Time In Gympie.

Quite a few of these photos have already featured at holtieshouse
but
this is the picture site so they need to be here too.

The beautiful carpet of blossom under the Jacaranda trees makes a
good place for this top knot pigeon to forage for supper.

Memorial Park looks at it's best when the Jacaranda's blossom.

It doesn't matter whether the blossom is still on the trees or on the
ground.

But that carpet sure looks special doesn't it?

This is the tree with the Mohawk cut near my front door.

While it wasn't one of the best sunsets from my back porch it was
worth a photo... Going, going...

Gone...

Clouds

I did not take any of these photos, but thought they were so good
I'd post them anyway.

A combination of sunset and cloud formations caused by the upsurge
of air around the mountain makes a great picyure.

And the same can be said for these reflected in the lakes still water.

Just love these high level clouds being formed into such an interesting
pattern by the wind above them.


Above, an F/A-18 Hornet was photographed just as it broke
the sound barrier.

Explanation: Many people have heard a sonic boom, but few have
seen one. When an airplane travels at a speed faster than sound,
density waves of sound emitted by the plane cannot precede the
plane, and so accumulate in a cone behind the plane.
When this shock wave passes, a listener hears all at once the sound
emitted over a longer period: a sonic boom. As a plane accelerates
to just break the sound barrier, however, an unusual cloud might
form. The origin of this cloud is still debated.
A leading theory is that a drop in air pressure at the plane
described
by the Prandtl-Glauert Singularity occurs so that moist
air condenses
there to form water droplets.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was going to say!!!

A sky with some clouds in it = Beauty


Clouds and Sunsets are among my favourite things to photograph.


A glorious sunset over the water in far north Queensland.

The wind is just starting to play with these unusual clouds.

Just minutes later the patterns are almost gone, but still a
pretty picture.


Fluffy white clouds billowing everywhere.

Once more the wind has joined in the game and re-written the
pattern completly.
