My view is always pretty, even when its gray and drab or stormy. I'm incredibly grateful. However, last week the view was exceptional - three days in a row! We've been having record amounts of rain for the month of October and we had one day last week of sunny skies and no rain.
Wednesday: Just look at it!!!! These photos are early morning, just after sunrise. There is still a mist and fog on the lake. The sky was such a bright blue and the clouds were fluffy and soooo white!
I threw open the back door and started taking pictures with such excitement. I mean, look at those colors! I felt like I had stepped into the middle of a Maxfield Parrish painting!
It was so beautiful, I never wanted that day to end!
Finally, I went upstairs to my little studio to work and this is the scene from my desk. Aww... the colors and beauty were both inspiring and distracting.
Thursday: Thursday was so rainy and windy and gray and drab that I didn't take any pictures during the day, However, that evening, around sunset, as we were watching our favorite football team on TV (GO GREENBAY!) I noticed that the sky was turning an odd sort of yellow. Then a pink glow...
And quite suddenly, a huge, brilliant double rainbow appeared!
I ran outside to get these photos. It was so huge, that from my place on the porch, I could not capture all of it.
The clouds behind the hills across the lake were lit up and glowing. As the rainbow started to fade, the sky turned all kinds of pink, blue, and purple!
Friday Morning: Friday was more of a classic, foggy, misty, October Day-
with hints of gray, brown, yellow and orange.
It rained all day.
Friday Evening: More fog and low clouds. The air smelled crisp with hints of wet leaves and a campfire - so peaceful.
I LOVE FALL!!!!
