We finally got some gorgeous weather, even if it was only for one day.
Blue sky makes me happy. So does finishing a run! It’s easy when you have the view below to get moving.
Never thought I’d be a skate park mum, but Nick loves riding his scooter and isn’t the least bit worried about the big boys and their bikes and skateboards.
I on the other hand have frequent heart attacks.
That was how we spent our Sunday after it dropped another 50mm or so of rain on Saturday. I wish every day was Sunday morning.
Because Sunday afternoons, I work. Late Sunday at work, I was treated to a magical sunset. These kinds of sunsets are how I got my blog name.
Then Monday morning I left for work early, only to be treated to this sunrise. What is it about winter that produces the most amazing skies?
Linking up with Jess for IBOT, of course!
Colours of Sunset 
Oh wow stunning skies!
they were just magical!
What lovely photos – hurry up and get a new lens and come and shoot me and my fam 🙂 xxxx
i do have one lens I can use, but really do need another. am working on it!
Photographing sunset and sunrise skies is my all-time fave type of photography to do. So much so I used to make Dave drive me around just to find the perfect place to capture them!
Gorgeous photos!
it’s my favourite too! it’s been a while since I purposely got up early with my “big camera” to take sunrise pics. these were all iPhone ones!
How gorgeous. I love your blog name. Thanks for sharing your inspiration.
thanks Kim!
I’m a mega fan of a reflection photo. So hard to get the right conditions and you nailed it!
I haven’t seen a gorgeous sunset like that for a while…..aahhh, sweet, sweet, inner city living.
that part of the lake always has great reflections! there’s another one near me that has awesome reflections, too. Can’t find my pictures of it at the moment tho.
What absolutely gorgeous shots. There is nothing that makes me smile more than clear blue sky’s and a sunset (except maybe a rainbow). Funnily, I came up with the name of Sunset Pools for my husbands business – we are on a similar wavelength I think 🙂

I wanted Chasing Sunset but it was taken (by someone who’s never used it) and they (WP) can’t/won’t do anything about it. Was bummed, so I thought “What is it about sunset I love? The colours!” I love clear blue skies and rainbows, too! x
Such beautiful photos, thanks so much for sharing. Just dropping in from IBOT.
Thank you, and thanks for dropping by!
I dont know how you can even watch at the skate park I think I would have my eyes averted all the time! Love the sunsets, but WOW at that sunrise!
Well this time hubby was there, so he watched mostly. I would rather not watch, but then I think if I don’t, that’s when he’ll fall and I won’t see it to do the mad dash to his side! yes, that sunrise was amazing. no filter on that!
That first one with the reflection is THE BOMB! So beautiful and still. Fantastic work 🙂
Thanks Rachel. I see that every morning, and finally I was running early enough that I could stop and snap it!
You get the most stunning skies! Every day I look out and wish I could see the same.. maybe I’m too late or too early, but I always miss it. Or maybe I’m just not standing on the right continent ;p

You might have to come to Australia to check them out!! 😉
What great photos !!!!! Love them so much.
Have the BEST day and I hope you are feeling better today.

Thanks L! I am definitely on the up-and-up. I ate too much yesterday and felt sick again last night, but hopefully will be right today. Hope you’re doing ok too lovely xo
Beautiful colours of sunset Aroha. I could watch sunsets for hours .
Oh I could too! Especially ones like this one. I had other pics, that I’d taken in the half hour beforehand, thinking they were beautiful but compared to those last 15 minutes, they were quite boring!
Loveee those pics A ! happy Tuesday lovely lady xx
Thanks M! Hope you’re having a great week! xo
Sooooo beautiful Aroha! It was nice to see that gorgeous day after Saturday’s downpour, and you’ve captured it all perfectly. xx
Was it ever! Today’s starting out a pearler too! Hope you’re having a great week!
what stunning photos!
I can feel the warmth and sense of calm you felt while there
just beautiful xx
Thanks Josefa! If I had to be at work at least it was beautiful! x
Wow these are great shots! I can understand being scared watching my child on a skate park.
Thanks Robyn! He just has no fear! If only I could feel the same!
Stunning images Aroha, and superb colours in that sunrise. I’m also a total sucker for the magic of skies and nature’s palette. I’m always stopping to take shots of clouds or leaves on the ground and I honestly don’t care what people are thinking!
he he, yeah I do it too! to get the reflection I had to stand on a bridge that had no sidewalk over it and I’m sure the people who drove by were wondering what the crazy woman was doing!
Beautiful photos Aroha. Love the one of you at the skate park too. Just looks so normal and relaxed
Beautiful, gorgeous, breathtaking!!! I love this time of year for all the pretty colours the sky produces in the early mornings and late afternoons.
You’ve captured them well, Aroha!
Wow! These pictures are just amazing. The last one is just beautiful! What a gorgeous sky.
Just beautiful pics Aroha – are you on the Gold Coast too? I really love getting up for the sunrise on these clear, crisp mornings and stopping to appreciate the sunsets. Since you love sunsets I thought I’d attach a link to video I did up with my favourite sunrises and sunsets – I called it my yinyang clock, since I blog as yinyangmother. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F92fM_JA1H4
