Last Saturday evening, while Hurricane Ike was battering parts of the Gulf Coast of the U.S., we here in Iowa were treated to a spectacular cloud show around the time of sunset!

ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful shots.....they ( clouds ) look like "cotton candy" clouds........=)
ReplyDeleteYour Iowa skies look delicious enough to eat! In fact, I'm getting hungry just looking at them.
ReplyDeletebeautiful skys!!!!!!!! I love red skies!
ReplyDeleteYour photo of the sky this week reminds me of the sky over Mt. Sinai in Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments! Fiery!
ReplyDeleteLovely skies, Jeannelle, and a lovely Sky Watch. Ike didn't bring us any pretty skies, but did scare up a few tornados (one touched down about 8 miles north of me) and bluster, blow and rain like crazy. I was glad to see blue skies today.

Spectacular shot. I never tire of looking at the sky.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the angels were busy running away from the hurricane.
ReplyDeleteYouj're right. You did have a spectacular cloud show! Awesome. Did you feel any of the effects of Ike? I would imagine you were too far north and west.
