Looking back...
Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 1 August 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
Starting out for our walk at 6:30 am, we looked from the street behind us, at the sky over our home; this is what we saw. I kept Belle with me while Mike ran back to get my little point 'n shoot. Thank you, Honey!
Thank you so much for visiting my blog; your comments are greatly appreciated. I apologize for not getting to all of your posts. I will visit as time permits.

Wow! Magnificent shot! So much drama!
What a great hubby you have ;)

@Magda: Thanks, Magda, for this and your other comments. The sky here was so beautiful, but I knew if we all turned around and went back around the block, Belle would be too tired out to continue. (Her congestive heart failure is taking its toll.) Mike was the willing 'fetcher' in this case and I'm 'keepin' him! :D
@Eleftheria: Thank you, Sweetie!

My, my! You're an early bird, Judy! I wish I could do the same......but I NEVER manage! But I wonder if I could get such a lovely sky even at 6:30AM here.....most of the time the sky is flat!
1 Aug 2009 10:50am
@Japanalia: Oh, but you see, I'm not really the early bird you think I am! The humidity and high temperatures make it very difficult to walk after the sun starts rising in the sky, so the only way to beat that is to set the alarm and get going before we're really awake!
Those clouds are to the south and out over the Gulf of Mexico, so rain may have been moving in. As the sun came up in the east, it lit them, giving this dramatic display.
Betty from New Jersey, United States
Very dramatic sky and such beauty for your morning walk!

Chris from South Jersey, United States

@Chris: It's called 'beating the heat' here in Florida, not necessarily by choice. <grin>
Susan from Fort Lauderdale, FL, United States
what a great sky you had today !!! and thanks to mike for letting you catch it!!! 6:30, ey???? a bit too early for me on a weekend!! (or any other day of the week, for that matter!!)

@Susan: I'm being repetitious, but as you know, it's one way to beat the heat! :D
Barbara from Florida, United States
Wow! Very dramatic sky. I think we are all pleased Mike went back for your camera. The colors are beautiful. I love the setting and composition, it has charm.
1 Aug 2009 1:52pm
@Barbara: Thanks, Barb. Several other mornings I tucked the little camera in my pocket thinking I might find a pretty shot, but no luck ... they always appear when we're not prepared, right? :D
Viewfinder from Bradenton, FL, United States
Your little point and shoot did the job. What a beautiful Florida morning sky! Your home looks so inviting...

@Viewfinder: Thanks, Glenn. The back of the house would be better shot at an angle, but I wasn't paying any attention to that, focusing totally on the sky! :D
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
Oh look at that Divine sky and again that collaboration between you and Mike brings out the best wow

@Lorraine: Thanks, Lorraine. As for the team efforts, we've had lots and lots of years of practice! xx
Lambspun from Madison, Maine, United States
Wow Judy, almost looks like smoke in the background. Very ominous. Clouds lend some much mood to photos and take us back when we had days that looked the same.
1 Aug 2009 4:55pm
@Lambspun: I love to watch the changing sky, but we cannot always be outdoors looking. :D
Srujan Chennupati from Hyderabad, United States
WOW Judy! This is a "Dream" shot. Very beautifully composed. Beautiful shot.
