This picture was taken on Galveston Island, Texas, in 2007 before Hurricane Ike did so much damage on the island. I like the silhouettes of the palm trees against sunset afterglow.

I went to my archives for this picture, but Betsy and I enjoy the mountains of western North Carolina so much that its always a pleasure to check out these scenes.
The picture above was taken near Otto, North Carolina, back in May. The day had started out rather dreary, but the blue breaking through the clouds when this picture was taken hints that “Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning”!

I haven’t had an opportunity to get sky pictures this week, so I’ve gone to my archives for this picture. It was taken in the mountains of western North Carolina this past July. It had been an overcast day, but as evening approached the sun could occasionally be seen peeking through the clouds. There are no obvious breaks in the clouds in this picture, but if you look closely you can see sun rays beaming down on the mountains.
Blue skies over Fairfield Glade. November 2, 2009.

When we are under the influence of a high pressure system, we’re treated to beautiful blue skies. We have had clear blue skies for most of this week, as you can see from the picture above.
You will also see that many of the branches of the trees around our house are now bear. That explains all the leaves that we’ve been contending with on the ground.
There wasn’t much of a breeze when I took this picture, but I still think that Old Glory against a blue sky is a beautiful sight.
A beautiful autumn sky, Cherohala Skyway, Tennessee. October 25, 2009.

Because of the rockslide on I-40, Betsy and i came home by coming from North Carolina to Tennessee on the Cherohala Skyway. The scenery along the skyway is beautiful any time, but this particular day the autumn colors were stunning, especially along the middle elevations.
The picture above has just about everything you could ask for on a beautiful autumn afternoon: bright colored leaves, a clear blue sky, and, if you look closely (the picture can be enlarged), a beautiful moon in that blue sky.
Western North Carolina mountains and sky. July 11, 2009.

Since Betsy is away in the mountains of North Carolina, I thought I would share this picture of the sky and mountains taken earlier this year. Betsy is in Maggie Valley and this picture was taken north of Asheville, but the sky and mountains are majestic in both places.
Sunset at Kunta Beach, Bali. June, 1987.

The picture above is a scan from a slide made at Kunta Beach on the island of Bali. The sun had already dropped below the horizon when the resort turned on lights along the beach. The green of the lights provided an interesting contrast with the blue of the Pacific and the sky. The orange glow on the horizon is just an added bonus.
The silhouette on the left is a figurine of a Hindu goddess.

The picture above was taken one evening in May while we were at Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina. Not only were we blessed with good weather but the moon rose opposite our room for several nights. That helped make a wonderful vacation even better.

We were in St. Augustine, Florida, the day before Betsy’s birthday this year. We stopped to visit Castillo San Marcos. The day was beautiful with white clouds floating through a blue sky. It seemed possible to step back in time on such a day.
Sunrise at Ormond Beach, Florida. August 6, 2009.
No, the picture above was not taken in Oklahoma, but in Ormond Beach, Florida. It was the day after Betsy’s birthday and we would be heading home later in the day. But when this morning picture was taken we were able to enjoy the start of a new day as the sun came up over the Atlantic.
