Cracker Sunrise

I was awake at 5.45 a.m. saw the clouds were going to colour, so headed down to the lake.  Only a few photographers out at this time of day.  The colour stayed for about 10 minutes, plenty of time to get a nice shot.

Home for b/fast, then off to croquet.  Played 3 games, and as the morning wore on, it got hotter and HOTTER!!   The temperature is forecast to be over +30C for the rest of the week and into next week.  Most unusual for this time of year.  It is usually cold, wet and windy.
