Maybe the Australian snow melted before it got out of the cloud. :wink:

It actually melts before it even gets into the clouds, especially this time of year.

Rain is nothing but wet snow warmed over, so I will allow it.
However, there is a trade off. For the June, July and August contests, you will have do snowy screenshots. 8)

Santa Claus does not use reindeer in Australia as it too hot for them .. he uses 6 white boomers (white kangaroos) to pull his sleigh.
To the east of the sports ground are sheep recently given birth to lambs. Nice big dam near the house for water supply and swimming in. It also stocked with fresh water fish and yabbies (Fresh water crayfish).

If you love the surf, plenty of places to go to enjoy the waves. It a great tourist attraction and the caravan park is always full during school vacations.
Local farms in the area grow grapes for wines and a variety of other crops.
One of the fishing boats reported a huge catch so other boats are heading out to sea to see what they can see.
It was really an excellent promotion :) I wish you continued success.

As I said to wallyweb, we could do with a little optimism. That song has become somewhat of an anthem for the year 2020 for me. Anyways, I hope the theme is open enough to generate lots of different entries :)

I think You Must Believe In Spring has many options for the competition.

* In the cites and towns the parks with be full of colour when the trees and flowers are in bloom.
* The ice and snow be melting.
* Farmers be about to harvest their winter crops (If it didn't snow)
* and plowing the fields ready to plant summer crops.
* Some fruits also be ready for picking.
* Sheep usually have their lambs towards end of winter and early spring.
* Winter sports will be about to play their grand finals and summer sports will have start their first games.

Did I leave any thing out that happens in spring?

Cheers all

WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? SPRING IN JANUARY?
Must be that climate change thing, but the citizens are loving it. A day at the beach to watch the regatta ... A trip up Susmon Mountain to take in the view ... A reservation at the Old Cruise Ship five star restaurant ... A ride on the suspended monorail to see what's going on around town or to go to the airport to catch a flight to a ski resort ... All the things that dreams are made of. :D

Here my entry:
The city of Newcastle with a old castle turned into a tourist attraction.
Elementary school to the left and near it is a shopping mall.
Streets aligned with Jacaranda trees in bloom and some gum trees in flower.

The ice didn't even melt, with the first rays of the sun, trees began to bloom, and residents of nearby towns went to enjoy the spring weather at the local dam.
