An old maxim of the Navy is this: "Red sky in morning, sailors take warning. Red sky at night, sailor's delight."
This appears to be holding true. Yesterday morning, we had some dramatic color.
This morning was even more dramatic, with the very air drenched with color. The photo can't begin to capture the beauty.
Now here's our weather for the next few days:
Methinks those sailors knew a thing or two......
Your pictures suck.
ReplyDeleteDid you even read her comment about the photos not doing the scenes justice? You are very rude.
DeleteI think she does very well, especially since she uses her phone to take them.
DeleteNope, I use a pocket camera. We don't have smart phones.

Thanks for posting these, Patrice. In spite of the camera "not doing them justice", they still show the beauty of God's creation. (P.S - please correct the word "new" to "knew" in your last sentence in the post.)
DeleteI find it very telling (and amusing) that Patrice allowed your childish snipe to be posted here. You might learn some humility from understanding why she chose to do that. But I bet you won't.
DeleteI like the third one, all misty.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are beautiful as usual. Thank you for taking the time to share them with us. I wonder why some people feel the need to post ugly, negative thoughts which are usually useless. Anyway, I hope you never stop sharing your life and photographs with the Rest of us.
ReplyDeleteHave you read any of Eric Sloane's books? He has one entitled The Weather Book which is filled with a well-written mix of science and lore, plus all of his wonderful illustrations. I remember he explains "red sky in morning" and why it's generally true. I just can't remember what the explanation was, lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendation! I just ordered a copy for my dad's birthday. He is a curious man and loves to be outdoors. I think he will enjoy it.
DeleteI thought the pictures were great.

Red sky at morning
ReplyDeleteJust a FYI.......The common phrase "red sky at morning" is a line from an ancient rhyme often repeated by mariners: The concept is over two thousand years old and is cited in the New Testament as established wisdom that prevailed among the Jews of the 1st century AD by Jesus in Matthew 16:2-3. Wikipedia
Most storms come from a westerly direction. The sun, rising in the east, shines underneath the clouds initially, creating the " red sky in morning". Thus, here come the storm clouds. "Red sky at night, sailors delight" is just the opposite. The storm clouds are receding to the east and the setting sun in the west reddens them as it drops below the horizon.
