Florida storm skies

It was post tropical storm, but the clouds were uncanny.
The first pic is of a storm that came up suddenly and was pretty scarey to see.This is NOT a black and white photo.

These pictures were taken the following day at sunset. The cloud formations were spectacular!

























The bottom photo was taken that same day just after the sunset. The photo is of the EASTERN sky, I cannot understand what could have caused such a shadow. I color enhanced it so you could see it better.

Maybe it was an alien spacecraft, invisible except for its shadow...

Almosthurricane Land

I have been in Orlando for three weeks now and this is my first taste of hurricane season. Gratefully, the hurricane did not materialize, but the winds and the rains are still doing their thing on the land. The ants have mobilized and decided that indoors is the only source of food. I opened the sugar bowl this am to find it looking like chocolate sprinkled sugar, only the sprinkles were moving. Thankfully, we received our nontoxic ant spray just yesterday, so the house smells like a peppermint candy. I always have these feelings of dread when I end the lives of insects. I think, "my karma is not going to be good because of this". Then I think of the way of nature which is always killing and renewing and try to salve my conscience. Sigh. If only I could just scoop up the entire ant colony and move them to a safe place, but I am not a god.
