It was the most amazing sunset tonight, yet bittersweet as my thoughts were with all my Fl. friends. I hope each and everyone of you are safe. You are in my thoughts.
((hugs))

The sky was pink...
Another view...
Wow!! So pretty! And look at those pods too!
It only lasted minutes. With a click of the camera, it was gone.
Thank you Kell... I clicked and clicked till the light faded away. It was beautiful. The camera really captured the color.
Oh Kristi! Thats amazing!!
Just beautiful Kristi, and the heartfelt thoughts with it, sure hope our friends are OK.

LOVE the first picture. The sky and brug together..soo pretty!
Kristi, the colors are magnificent!! Thank you so much, I like the first one
very much. Nature displays so many gorgeous views, they are so fleeting. Glad you could capture this.
Fantastic timing, thanks for sharing.
Love the pic, very very nice. I just bought a brum that is actually still in the pot. I do not have any experience with this plant, but I was attracted to the fragrance and flowers. I'm noticing a lot of new growth on the trunk of the plant looks like leaves mostly. Should I leave them alone or take them off?
Thanks...K~
Wow...Excellent shots. You couldn't have had a better background for them.
I was preparing to evacuate(mandatory). My storm shutters were up, my favorite plants inside, my dog in the car. After a frantic two days I pulled out of the driveway, never knowing if I'd see any of it again. I was as calm as one can be but when they change the storm from a category 2 to a 4, I was so tired, running on adrenalin, I sat down and cried. I didn't know what to pray for...not for it to go somewhere else and devastate them. So I just told Him that he had a plan and for a reason and ate a PB an J sandwich. It was heading directly for our island and at the last hour, literally, it took a small jog and missed us by going into Charlotte County. We then would be spared the damage as well as the tidal surge. If it had gone in at Tampa, we whould have had a terrible tital surge and things would be flooded, but not knocked down by the winds. But where it hit, it was supposed to go right up the coast which would have been the wost for the whole area. But it stayed on its path and headed to the center of the state. We were spared completely. Why? We now have a campaign "The Storm that was supposed to be ours wasn't so we will send you our storm supplies." And today to add insult to injury, it poured rain with lightning and thunder over these poor folks. We all learned after Andrew that we have to wait a week or so before sending supplies or money. There is no hierarchy in place to manage, sirt, distribute what is needed, so much of what was donated to the victims of Andrew,,,blankets,,,clothes,,,sheets,,,sat out in the weather and was ruined. Let them have a few days to shake off the cloud and get back into reality so our donations can be used to the best of their abilities. I know we are not supposed to advertise here, but I urge you to send a check to the National Red Cross. These people are sitting begging for ice and water. Many of them elderly who had found paradise to live out their golden years. I was so lucky and can't stop thanking God...now is the time to get up and do something constructive for those so badly injured,,,mentally and financially,,,please join me. 25 miles...25 miles is all it took for me to be sitting in a cool room typing on my computer. It is in the 90's now with mosquitoes galore...a five dollar check could buy bug spray so badly needed. Thanks!
Wow, Dale. God bless.
I'm glad you were spared any serious damage. It is no fun dealing with things we have no control over. I'm so sorry for the families who lost loved ones. Even tho some people didn't have insurance to cover what they lost, those things can be replaced in time, lives can't. We don't have hurricanes in Iowa, obviously, but we do have our share of tornadoes, hail, and winds that are sometimes very damaging. In the winter months we sometimes have to deal with ice storms that break down trees and damage roofs. I'm sure everyplace has some kind of weather related problem to deal with. Just take care of yourself. Hurricane season isn't over yet.
Kristi that is a excellent picture. I love it
What a beautiful picture. All I keep getting here is thunder and lightning storms with sheet rain on top of all the downed tree's on top of my gardens.. Thanks to Charley.. cinnabor
These are beautiful pictures.
