A WARNING?

Red sky at night, sailors' delight.[1]

Red sky at morning, sailors' warning;

Like a red morn that ever yet betokened,
Wreck to the seaman, tempest to the field,
Sorrow to the shepherds, woe unto the birds,
Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to herds.”

Nice shots. I guess a sailor just doesn't want to see clouds in the morning.

Could signal the beginning of the end indeed.

For a minute, I thought these warnings had to do with your NaNo progress. :)

You know, in Florida we have a situation which I would call "golden." Sometimes after a rainstorm, it turns golden outside. Literally golden. The whole world. That's what I'm hopeful for.

Very subtle, Yolanda. Gorgeous photographs. Let's hope there's a silver lining in those clouds.

Like Denise, I hope there is some sort of silver lining. But sadly I can't see how that is possible.

Our sky was red this morning. Unfortunately, my shots are nowhere near as pretty as yours.

Very beautiful photos. I've noticed the morning about a storm the sky is usually so vivid.

Gorgeous. We get red mornings when humidity is high. That is a sort of warning I guess--"don't come outside! It's miserable!"

Beautiful shots!

What drama that the sky gives us at times? We should look up more often.

My husband explained that to me once. Something about the air pressure that causes the red in morning can also kick up storms? Something like that.

That saying always pops in my head when I look out at the evening/morning sky. Beautiful pictures!
