Yet Another Sunset Post

Monday, August 11, 2014 –

I’m sorry to keep posting sky photos, but it’s been a couple of summers since we’ve had so many nice clouds, and a good sunrise/sunset is 90% clouds. Today was another show-stopper. The first pictures are the sunrise this morning, and then come the sunset pictures. I had to hike into the pasture for the best shots.

Ominous Sky

Sunday, August 10, 2014 –

This afternoon, Nathan, Laredo and I took a little journey over to around Paducah. While there, a storm brewed up and I got some interesting shots. When we got home, there were amazing clouds just waiting for me to photograph them, too.

Breathtaking Colors

Although we didn’t get any significant moisture out of these storms, I did get some great sky shots.

Traveling Skies

Friday, August 1, 2014

The kids and I went to Lubbock today. Before we left, we took some pictures of the sunrise.

On the way home, the evening skies were getting so pretty. I had Stockton snap a few shots out the window. When we got home, Carolina grabbed the camera and took a few more.

By 9:09 pm it had moved across the sky, but looked about the same.

Evening Sky Report and Amazing Fireworks Display

Sunday, July 6, 2014

Another beautiful sunset tonight. The colors changed dramatically over the course of half an hour.

I think I just participated in a little deceptive advertising with the headline of this story. The “amazing fireworks display” claim was a little exaggerated. We didn’t go in for purchasing any new fireworks this year. However, Carolina did have one thing left from last year. We set it off tonight and here’s how it looked. I think a parachute guy shot out and floated down out of it, but I missed that part.

However, to make up for my little deception, I will post these pictures Cim sent of some fireworks that he saw on his weekend trip with the Marrs family to a wedding in San Antonio. They are truly spectacular.
