Red Sky


Been one crazy week here with all the heat and storms. Our worse storm came on Thursday, with the most intense lightening I think I have ever seen. The electricity went off all over town, thankfully ours was only off for a short time, which was even more of a blessing for us since our air conditioning fan decided to burn out and had to be replaced. The house was very hot and was just beginning to cool down when the storm hit. Our internet and cable didn't fare as well, but the next day was up and running again.







As the storm died down I noticed that the sky was such an odd color, so I ventured out on the front porch. It was still raining, (as the white dots in the photos show), and lightening a bit but I managed to snap a couple of shots.

I don't think I have ever seen the sky this red. It was very pretty. Don't you agree?

  1. Quite stunning but also a little eerie. I've not seen a sky like it either. Pleased there was no serious damage.

  5. Oh my goodness....lie something from a sci-fi movie ----Arnold Schwarzenegger's movie Total Recall...the color of the sky on Mars. Eerie, yet pretty all the same.

  7. Very different color for the sky - I am always a little spooked by strange colors in the sky - always expect something really bad to happen! It does make for lovely photos though!
