Yesterday's SKY

Cloud of pastel pink green

Rainbow arc

Hearing theme from close encounters?

No photoshopping in these pictures.

Does anyone else think these are strange messages in the sky?

(The color may be from a fading Circum Horizontal Arc?)

The last one looks like you're being invaded!

Me thinks those might be floating UFO's in the last shot.
Beautiful photos...and as usual, I learned something here:
Circum Horizontal Arc?
Sounds like something my doctor mentioned when my back went out.

wow, beautiful sky shots no matter what kind of messages they are conveying. the middle does look like it could have been caused by a circum horizontal arc, but i wouldn't know cause just 3 minutes ago is when i learned of those things. :)

I think they're God's version of Smoke Signals... in Morse Code.

Did you get the message?

I agree that the last one looks a little suspicious. Interesting messages indeed.

Women!!! Those are things created by a man so you could enjoy beautiful things in your lives, besides handsome men. Actually they are ice crystals and in some places they are called sun dogs. The cloud formations suggest mighty strong winds aloft. The sun dogs, I think, mean a change in the weather.

The clouds almost look like saucer shapes.

Even before I read your comment I was thinking that the sky looked strange and unlike any I had seen before. Don't know what to make of it but very pretty.

Nothing suspicious, unless beauty is suspicious. Wonderful photos.

Great pictures of the sky. I've noticed some really strange looking clouds here the last couple days too, but now the air is thick with smoke from grass fires in the next county.
It's going to be a long hot summer..

J calls the rainbow effect a sun dog and says they are a sign of a change in weather.

I love the UFO clouds!

I love funky clouds. I saw a few yesterday, but didn't have a camera (OH NO!!)

I see one now too, but it's nearly dark and I've decided I'd rather look at it, than dig for my camera;;))

That last one looks a little freaky. I've never seen cloud formations like that before.

Marvelous! Adore the last. Explodes the imagination..... Do I sense a new mythology being written even now?

I agree with the previous commenters - it's a Sun Dog! We mostly see them only in winter here. I get so excited over them that it's silly. :)

And some 1600 miles away, I was caught in a hailstorm.

Love those sundogs!

I just think they're beautiful..I didn't think "weird" though like everyone else...the last one just looks pretty and shimmery to me!

We had lots of clouds the past few mornings and now we're headed for a week of sunshine!
What about you, my East Washington friend? :)

According to fellow guests at the hotel I was in last week, there was a double rainbow in the sky in Richmond, VA. Wish I would've seen it.

Wonderful sky photos, and so funny, I just put up my post for today and did a series of sky photos from today, because it kept changing. That last one of yours is really cool.

The rainbow arc does look like a Sun Dog, which must be the same as a Circum Horizontal Arc. These may be relatively common but seen only when the sun is 22 degrees in the sky so people tend to miss them.

Great sky photography, Pamela.

those ufo cloaking devices these days .... they're pretty dang good.

Wish they would put some scrolling art work on them though, like the blimps do when they fly over.

Great childhood memory. Love those blimps.

Sing in Spring

I've heard the voice of this little wren in the bushes around my patio  -- echoing through my back yard as if through a megaphone.  So much volume coming out of this little feathered bit of avian life.

Today it actually perched in the top of the pine that grows in our neighbors yard and hangs its branches over into the corner of our back yard.  As it declared its territory I dare not infringe -  instead I stayed on my side of the yard and used the digital zoom to captured its aria of spring.

I was hoping another Bewick would respond.  Perhaps now would be a good time to find a wren box and place it in a safe nesting spot.

An Old Cold Spot

My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years.



Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day."

Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of the make and model that Mike in…

My parents did not know that they "recycled." They were frugal out of need and found a second use for nearly everything. I could tell you stories - but I won't today.

People who survived the depression lived by the motto, "Use it up, wear it out; Make it do, or do without."

When our children were growing, we did not adhere to the philosophy. With two full time working parents, our household took the convenient route more often. The girls had school and extra curricular activities and so did we. We didn't include recycling.

Now that the hubby and I are older and wiser, (I'm mostly older) we are more aware of the things we use.

Earlier this year, Swamptwitch and Robin began a recycling challenge for 2007 (S.P.E.A.R. Challenge 2007) that I am revisiting; Swampy introduced it on her post Talkin' Trash.
Robins entry can be found at Me -Talk- Dirty- One- Day.
