It was just meant to be a short walk around the RV Park before dinner. And then, almost at our door, I glanced across the street to see this:
There wasn't a chance that I was going into the house right then!
The sky behind the wetlands just kept getting prettier and prettier.
Dinner was a little late -- but it was worth it!
Thank you to the hosting team at SKYWATCH FRIDAY, where this post is linked.
and to ED at SUNDAY STILLS where 'big skies' is this week's challenge theme.
What a lovely sunset - I thought of Africa! (Hope dinner was not spoilt).

Fantastic sunset. However regretably that it was the southern and western and areas in the north are seeing all the time in Australia- bushfires! Most of the country is still on full RED ALERT.
The heat arrives in Brisbane today. I am not looking forward to this weekend.
What does RV Park stand for?
Cheers

Oops - writing and watching weather/fire reports on TV don't mix.

WE've had nothing but clouds lately and now rain and cold...Your sunset is LOVELY...worth being late to dinner!
Posted by: Sondra | January 17, 2013 at 04:48 PM
Gorgeous! A good lesson to turn around once in a while. And so what if dinner was a little late. You can always eat.
