wild weather

We had a huge dust storm on Wednesday that lasted all day.
It was horrible!
We even had a black out due to the wind knocking out a power line, so we escaped to town to the nice clean air-conditioned enclosed shopping centre.

I didn't take any photos but you can view some on Lynn's blog.
Then this afternoon it was back again!

So I took these photos.
The above photo is from my veranda looking over towards our neighbours.


That is not the moon but the sun, it had a blue tinge although you can't see it in the photo.
I feel sorry for the people out west in the drought stricken areas as this dust is their topsoil blown over to the east coast and then out to sea.
