Red Sky at morning ...
There’s a line in the movie The Owl and Pussycat where Barbra Striesands' character, Doris, is reading the opening lines from a book that George Segals’ character, Felix, is writing that goes, “the sun spat morning … .“ I don’t know that our sunrise was that dramatic today,
October 6, 2004, but it was a brilliant change from the clear blue sunrise that doesn’t give the sun anything to paint with. It actually made me think of the saying “Red sky at night, sailors delight. Red sky at morning, sailor take warning.”, as it was fire red at the horizon.
The smaller picture is a cropping from this larger one without all the clutter of the neighborhood.
This one was taken about 5 minutes later, just moved the camera a little to the left and backed up a bit.
We did get a little rain this morning, it was sprinkling when I took the pictures, then when I went inside it came down a bit harder, but only for about 10 minutes, the rest of the day was partly cloudy and windy, breezy for here, with temperatures in the 70s, a nice fall day.
Then about 5:30 this evening I saw a rainbow out the kitchen window and had to snap a shot of it.
