SkyWatch Friday: Plateau Evening Skies

Evening skies in Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. August 7, 2011.

This is my post for Skywatch Friday, a meme for sharing views of the sky from all over the world.  To see more, or to join and share your own photos of the sky, click HERE.

I’ve posted several sky photos from our trip out west, commenting on the pretty sunsets out there.  But we can have pretty skies here on the Plateau of Tennessee as well.

I went out to the front yard one evening last week after the sun had dropped below the ridge to the west of our house.  The yard and road in front of the house were in deep shadows, but the clouds in the sky to the east were a beautiful red/gold.

    That’s a lovely big pouf of cloud! Our youngest grandson is enjoying clouds! We were sitting in the car, waiting for ‘sissy’ to be finished her drama camp, and he saw a ‘dinosaur’ shape. He’s only 3! Enjoyed the moment!
