In the past three days, we have had some fairly spectacular skies. The scattered thunderstorms over central Texas, while not actually giving us much more rain than we received over the weekend, are providing lots of sky eye-candy. The photos I'm sharing on this post are from today (Thursday), Wednesday, and Tuesday of this week.
The first few photos are of tonight's sunset. I didn't think it would amount to much, but it actually turned out quite nice.
I always love it when the sky fades from warm oranges and yellows to cool greens and blues. Tonight, it did just that!
After the sun completely set, there were lots of beautiful little pink-bottomed clouds.
These colors always remind me of western paintings by Charles M. Russell.
YESTERDAY: Storms sailed just past the farm (both sides!) not leaving us with a drop of rain. But we did get to see that pretty cloud formation in the distance. This was taken hours before sunset, but look how dark it was under those clouds!
TUESDAY: The sky was quite different on Tuesday! When I was on the other side of town delivering eggs, the storm off in the distance was really something! The storm was coming up from the south, and I was convinced with all that was coming our direction that we'd get some rain. Nope. It split in half and went right around us.
Meanwhile, the view west from back at the farm (this is the view you usually see in my photos) gave a beautiful image of the sun peeking down through the clouds.
And in case you're wondering, Fidget has been my evening helper while I'm out checking out the sunset. She's quite the helper.... follows right along, chattering up a storm. *grin*
Hey Anna, I don't know what happened, but I haven't received any of your blogs in ages. I scoured through my mail and nothing. I was so glad to see you are well, hope your foot is better. I resigned up for emails again. Sure missed them!

It appears like she has a vest on. I think a necklace of some nice shiny beads would be very appropriate for such a pretty neck. Pink plastic beads would be perfect.... The photo's of course are lovely as always too...Love, Dad

Beautiful sunsets and cloud photos.
My goodness Fidget has grown. Seems like only yesterday she was a little yellow puff. You did get some nice rain on the weekend. We also need it right about now. Crazy we would say this as our fivers and streams flooded FOUR times this spring/summer. But we have now had a LONG very hot and very humid spell with no rain. Grass is browning and garden looking limp. Watering as often as we can at dusk when the heat begins to slacken and mosquitos are out!
Happy Friday, hugs...
