Sky Watch Friday - Painted Sky

I caught a glimpse of this "sun pillar" on my way out to run errands on Tuesday evening. I am glad that I had my camera ready. I've heard of these and seen pictures, but I have never been lucky enough to see one, that is until now. This shot was taken about 15 minutes later. I think it looks painted and it has an almost surreal feeling to it.

This was taken on New Year's Eve. If you click to see the larger picture, you can see Venus under the crescent moon.

Wow, is it Friday already? Where did the week go? Oh, that's right, I've been helping my husband repaint the entire downstairs of our house all week, that's why it's flown by. In the meantime, my housework has suffered big time. I guess that means I'll be restoring order around here today and hoping I'll get caught up before the weekend rolls in this afternoon.

Here's a shot I took during a camping trip to the upper peninsula in July. The sun is going down over Lake Superior, while a bug heads in for the night. ;-)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Sky Watch Friday

We have had spectacular springlike weather here, so on Tuesday I took a quick overnight trip to Lake Superior to spend some time with family and break in my new camera. On my way home last night, I arrived to cross the Mackinac Bridge at just the right time. I just wish it would have been a full moon.

A few pictures I took during our camping trip to Lake Superior. I took these over a short lapse of time while watching the sun fade to the west.

Moon & Sunset

As I was waiting for the fireworks to begin on Friday evening, I sat atop a hill with an excellent view. The shot above was a reflection of the sunset on the front fender of a friends Chevy truck. I could not resist the shot below, although I have to say, with my shoddy camera, I was worried this one would not come out. Lucky for me it did...
