Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driverAnd there's nothing else could set fire to this town
- That's from the song "Flame Trees" by Aussie band Cold Chisel. It's a great song and also has been covered beautifully by Sarah Blasko. I think my favourite version is by the Sacred Heart School as heard in the film Little Fish... it's just gorgeous.
Blue skies have returned after a couple of days of much needed rain here in Brisbane easing the fire restrictions... and the flame trees are exploding into a riot of crimson.
Light up your life today with other skies posted at Skywatch Friday.

Flame trees have a most unusual flower structure, don't they? The colours at this time of the year are to die for: clear blue sky, purple of the jacaranda and the red of the flame tree.
How lucky we are!
Ah, yes, the flame tree...I have one on my post this morning too..framed by jacarandas.
It sure is a nice tree. Lovely against the blue sky.
Wow! What a beautiful photo.
Is that what they are singing. I love the song but could never make out the words.
Wow, nice shot and beautiful colors!
I love the fact that while we're heading towards winter, I can get some spring from down under!
