Constantly changing skies

 

 

During our sunset cruise on August 22 the skies were constantly changing.

I took so many pictures, it was hard to select just one.

Lightning was seen in the north as we headed for shore.

An hour later the skies opened up and we received 2 inches of rain.

An independent little cloud

 This independent little cloud wasn't afraid to cast it's own shadow on Smith Lake.  Orange, gray and black make a beautiful color combination.  August 15, 2020. 

Turquoise skies

 Caught on camera was this stunning turquoise sky over Smith Lake on July 7th, 2020.  The delicate peach and sweet yellow above the horizon give the illusion of a sunrise in the evening sky.

Sunset silhouette

This colorful sunset danced across Smith Lake on July 10, 2020 throwing the clouds into silhouette and drawing a brilliant orange line on the horizon.  

A birthday sunset for Mom

Looking through photos from last year.  So many lovely sunsets, and no time for posting.  This one was taken on my Mother's birthday last year.  I hope she enjoyed it from her vantage point above.

Fire in the sky

Again this year wildfires in the western United States and Canada are affecting our skies at Smith Lake.  Smokey air aloft makes for hazy skies and spectacular sunsets.  Even looking to the east the skies are draped in color.

August sunsets are the best

The summer is flying along, but the sunsets at Smith Lake are as unique and spectacular as ever!
