The sky over Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina. May 5, 2010.

We enjoyed beautiful weather while we were at the beach earlier this month.  It did rain one day, but we had  beautiful blue skies most of the other days.  We were enjoying the beach one sunny day when I looked inland and saw all these clouds from an approaching front.  The contrast with the blue sky and sand of the beach was striking and attractive.

We had beautiful weather while we were at the beach, although it did rain one day.  Even that was a good day since we could catch up on reading and even slip in a nap.  The sun came out late in the afternoon and we were treated to a rainbow reaching out over the ocean.

If you enlarge the picture and look closely to the right of the rainbow you will see a faint second rainbow.  We don’t often see double rainbows, and this is the first time I’ve gotten a picture of one.  I guess that made a few raindrops very worthwhile.

Betsy and I are going to Hendersonville this morning to see my parents.  Dad got something in the mail which has him concerned, so he wants me to see it.  I’ll try to catch up with each of you as quickly as I can.

The picture above was taken at Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, last year.  We’ve been  treated to a moonrise at the beach for the past two years.  We’re heading down there early tomorrow (Saturday) morning and hope we get to see such a scene again.

This will be my last  post until we get back.  I’ll have my iPod Touch with me and will try to visit as many of you as possible.  Until we get back I hope you all enjoy beautiful sunny days and peaceful star-filled nights.

Our temperatures finally got into the 40s yesterday and most of the snow is gone.  I’m sure we’ll get more, but I yesterday was a very pleasant day for being outdoors.

There have been quite a few ‘thinking of spring’ posts lately and I’m joining that number by posting a picture of Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina.  But since it will be several months  before we’ll be able to get back there to enjoy the warm sunshine, I’m showing the beach on a rainy morning with storm clouds overhead.

I’m grateful for the varied beauty and moods of the skies over our heads.
