The calm before the storm?
My camera is still broken. All I can take are wide shots, so no flowers today. This is my first Skywatch Friday - a big departure for me. Click on the link and take a look at skies all around the world.
~~ I love reading your comments. I hope you leave one so I’ll know you visited!
I look forward to visiting your blog in return.
It looks so dramatic, Pam. I bet you'll take lots of different pictures to those you'd usually take whilst the function on your camera is broken.
ReplyDeleteA very pretty sky, Pam. I hope you do not suffer the consequence of the storm. You must have felt the earthquake where you are. Some folks in our area even did, although not me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments, Jo and Donna. It seems we will be on the edge of the storm cone. This means 40 miles an hour winds and approx. 3 inches of rain. Nothing near as bad as those in the center of the storm, but enough to knock the electricity out and bring down trees. The ground is already saturated, so tree roots are not well anchored. Yes, I felt the earthquake. It was quite dramatic, with stuff falling off the bookshelf. Glad I don't live where earthquakes are common. P. x
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sunrise!! I feel sorry that late sleepers miss this sort of thing, don't you?
ReplyDeleteThink of your broken camera as an opportunity to see the world a little bit differently.
Here's hoping that Irene veers back toward the east a bit. Today will be spent battening hatches here. My work area could use the clean up anyway. Having a hurricane bearing down on us just jolted me into doing it a bit sooner.
May the storm's effects be much less than you anticipate!

A man who looked up at the sky
Saw ravens and clouds flying by.
He had to look up,
The sky filled his cup—
He’s my kind of sky-watching guy!

Sorry your camera is still broken, but it makes a beautiful wide picture. What a gorgeous sunrise! I'm generally not up in time to see that! I hope Irene only brings you mild rain and more lovely sunrises.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot of a fabulous morning sky! I've had some camera problems myself - hope yours sort themselves out. Keep safe!
ReplyDeleteHi Pam,
ReplyDeleteThat sure is a beautiful photo! I love the colors and textures.
I was wondering who I knew who had felt the earthquake, and who will be affected by the hurricane. I hope there is not much damage done. I have been praying for those in the path.
I don't have a blog- but I am a first grade teacher who loves my husband,children,grandchildren,students, and garden.I keep up on blogs from fantastic teachers to keep me current,Susan Branch to keep me in touch with my true self, and yours because it is part of my relaxing therapy. Gardening keeps me grounded and let's my creative side go crazy.
ReplyDeleteMine is a small english style garden in a coastal town in northern California.I love the soft pinks, blues, purples, and yellows.
I am writing to thank you for your inspiration and relaxation.

I stared at that one for a long time...so beautiful. The colors are incredible. Why is it that things are calmer and more beautiful before the storm?
ReplyDeleteHope everything's okay for you.
ReplyDeletePam, I'm hoping the predictions were wrong and you're not suffering any ill effects from the hurricane. The sunset you have shared is amazing, what a sky! I bet it's been hard not having your camera to take pictures of your beautiful gardens, I know I miss seeing them!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Irene has already started to blow here but at least my garden is getting watered. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteTake a lot of care, hope the storm passes with no problems
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot! Hope you and yours stay safe and well through the storm.
ReplyDeleteI heard that Irene has passed through and all you got is rain--hope that's the case. I am on a small island off the coast of Maine, and Irene is on its way. Wish me luck.
ReplyDeleteNice scene and your photo, too.
ReplyDeleteRegards!
Unbelievable sky colours. Did you get bypassed by the storm?
ReplyDeletePam, what a GORGEOUS picture! Glad to hear the earthquake didn't affect you...I hope your fared just as well during the hurricane!
ReplyDeleteLovely sky photo and thanks for the link showing other lovely sky photos I should try this sometime.
ReplyDeleteSoon you will find just the right camera.. Have a wonderful day.
Nice job !!!
ReplyDeleteAll is well here just trapped in the house for 3 days due to 60mph gusts and some roads flooded.
Sunrise Over the Poconos, just perfection. My close ups are fine, not so happy with the distance shots though. Hope all is well and you escaped the threat of fallen trees.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with you Pam. That was an awesome sky photo, such colors!
ReplyDeleteit's like a Turner painting Pam and thank goodness Irene was tamer than forecast.
ReplyDeleteAmazing sky! Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are all safe and sound now, and that your garden/home had limited damage.

Hi Pam, Hope you're safe and your camera is back to life. You can still join us for First Views if you like, Country Mouse and I are enjoying this meme.
ReplyDeleteThe colors are stunning! Thank you for such a great picture. I hope all is well with you and you will fix your camera soon.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture! I love your gardens and your blog...I am a newbie blogger and will be adding you to my reading list! Nicole
ReplyDeleteWhat a dramatic sky! Wonderful photo!
ReplyDeletePam, this reminds of the old proverb... Red sky at morning, sailors take warning. Red sky at night, sailors delight. Such a gorgeous sunrise to warn of such a devastating (for some people) storm. Your camera captured the colors so vividly!
