The Face of the Storm

As the days shorten the sun leaves just a little earlier, giving me time to finish dinner and hurry to the dock to see what the sky is talking about this time of year.  There are people who hang on to the very last hours of the summer sun pretending fall is not chasing in their wake.


Eventually the sunset is a peaceful palate of beauty.  


Sometimes just over your shoulder you can hear the deep throated growl of a late summer storm (or a pretender of one) that hangs out and shows his cool new autumn clothes.


And sometimes I can see the face of the storm itself!

  2. Your sunset picture reminded me of when I was a little kid, I thought that Heaven was hiding behind those marvelously colored clouds just showing us a little of what was really there.

  5. I used to love pictures by Maxfield Parrish that always seemed to have these kind of colours. Beautiful images.

  9. Nifty pics! Great cloud head/face- almost like the "Mummy" movie effect!

    Always good to have time for a free sunset show-

    We had severe t-storms going thru, but just missed here. Still saw some lightning, but no water for the plants yet.
