Still Sky Watchin' After All These Years

.

I used to do a Sky Watch Friday post each week.
Then I thought perhaps people were getting
Just a little more than bored with that.
So I stopped cold turkey.

That is I stopped POSTING them cold turkey.
I find I am still obsessed with WATCHING the sky
And photographing the sky
And planning sky posts in my head.

So this week I'm giving in to
My skywatch obsession.
I'm back to posting Skywatch Friday.

This was the view
Through our family room window
One evening this week.
Simply stunning.

For two days this week we had
A February Hurricane
(As Number One Daughter called it)
Right here in north central Indiana.

It was scary.
The rain drained out of the sky
Like a waterfall.
The winds were so strong
They shook our house.
Literally.
I was afraid the window would shatter
And spray all over me as I TRIED
To sleep in my bed.

Then suddenly, late one afternoon,
The sea of clouds parted
So the children of Israel could cross on dry land.
(Ooooops - - - that's a different story)

The sea of clouds parted
So the rays of the setting sun
Could flood our world with light.

My camera
Can't quite capture the contrast

Of the light of sun rays

Against the backdrop of black clouds
Beyond the reach of those rays.

But I gave it the
Good ole College try.
