A great time of year.

I like this time of year.

The first half of a Sydney winter is mild. Warm in the sun, cool in the shade. Polarized skys and white clouds, bar a few wet days. The air feels cleaner.

On Saturday a sky-writer plane was in the air. Everyone in the street was drawn to their front yards and looked up. Just as the figure '1' had been completed, a Qantas jet flew low across the scene. I was too slow to capture it.

It's also a great time to be outdoors. A great time to be 4Wding.

Soon it will be cold and wet. You go to work in the dark. Come home in the dark. Lots of jobs to do on the weekends.

So get out there! It's a great time of year.
