They say "Blue and green should never be seen."

  
Amazing Sky Arkaroola Station

But Mother Nature has better ideas. We have seen some amazing skies and because of recent rains, much of the desert is covered in green. There are so many different greens – blue gum green, wattle green, grass green, vibrant green, yellow green, spinifex green,  light green, dark green, all kinds of green. Makes me wonder which green people talk about when they say green.  So when the incredible blue of the desert sky  meets green (whatever that is)  on the horizon, it makes a spectacular picture especially when the unmistakable rusty red of the landforms in Central Australia  is added to the mix. Here are some of my favourite blue and green “paintings”from the past few days.
