“If you’re not from the prairie…You don’t know the sky… You can’t know the sky…The bold prairie sky is clear, bright and blue…Though sometimes cloud messages give us a clue…Monstrous grey mushrooms can hint of a storm…Or painted pink feathers, say goodbye to the warm…If you are not from the prairies…You don’t know the sky”...DAVID BOUCHARD*

    Lovely sky, wonderful shot,
    You don’t know sky, love it.
    It reminds of people who equate sunny days with heat.
    They don’t know sky, clear and blue, can freeze you through and through. :)

    Larry. I’ve looked at this pictue I don’t know how many times and didn’t realize until now that I haven’t commented on it.

    Hi Larry, the heat over the last week in Melbourne has been up to 45C, a bit too warm for my liking, I’d prefer a 10 degree day anytime with a warm jumper and a hot cup of coffee! In another few months during autumn, we’ll probably be complaining about how cold the weather is :) Cheers mate.

    Thanks David, i appreciate your prompt response my friend
