Sunset over the park


As we sat in the ballpark last night watching a rather disappointing game (for our team, anyway), I was fascinated to watch the leading edge of the most distant reaches of Irene started through Durham. This made for some interesting cloud-watching.

Here we had some rain overnight and it's intermittently breezy. They're calling for some more of the same in our area, but portions of the coast are getting battered. By this evening, the storm is supposed to be heading northward, and she should be steadily losing strength.

  5. My daughter just moved to Greensboro and I was worried about the area with the storms coming through. The sky shot is amazing and eerie at the same time. Hope you all stay safe from Irene.

  7. Glad you enjoyed your night out, even if your team didn't do as well as you had hoped.

    SHADOW DITTY

    Shadows of onyx, shadows of grey,
    Shadows to chase my doldrums away;
    Shadows each morning, shadows at night,
    Shadows, O shadows, you’re my delight!

  8. That is such a gorgeous color. I would love to see a sunset such as that. So pretty! We were nervous about Irene here outside of Philly, but everything turned out ok in our neck of the woods. So thankful!

  10. That is a beautiful picture and I love ballgames. It has always amazed me how something that causes so much destruction in one place can just skirt by other places.
