Back from Vacation

 

We just got back from a wonderful cruise to the Western Caribbean.  The sky was just crazy with amazing colors.

Today is "Skywatch Friday".  Check out some other great blogs here.

Sundogs

These three photos were taken on my way home from work yesterday. The first one was taken at 4:10 pm. The second one was taken about 1/2 way home around 4:25 pm. The last one was taken at my home around 4:35 pm. About 2 minutes later the sun was down.

The sky was on fire. This photo looks like there is a fire behind those trees, but it is the sun.

This is called sundogs or mock sun. The scientific name is parhelion - "beside the sun". To learn more about sundogs check out this website.

Robbins Island

I drive past Robbins Island every day on my way to and from work. I have not been to Robbins Island since I was a teen. (About 20 years, for those who don't know me.) I always thought it was dirty, polluted, gross and just not a very pretty place. Yesterday on my drive the sky was so gorgeous I just had to stop. I am so glad I did. It was nothing like I remembered. The sunset was magnificent. Please check out the others at Skywatch Friday.
