Tropical Storm Erin made landfall today, bringing even more rain our way. We got about 4" of rain today, whereas areas around San Antonio reached 5" and even up to 8" in some places. But, as the rain stopped this evening, the sky really looked pretty...
At first the sky looked like this so I asked Erica to stop so I could take some photos. As soon as we pulled over a cop went around us, drove up the road a little way, then came back to check on us.
Closer to home, this is how the sky looked:
But, just as we were almost to the turn-off to my house I could see that around the bend the sky appeared to have some reds and pinks in it. At one point I was walking along the road snapping pictures and Erica was driving on the shoulder on the opposite side so I wouldn't have to walk all the way back to the car. I'm sure the neighbors driving by were curious!
Mathew probably thought we were teasing him! We pulled off the road to turn in toward my house, but then decided to head down the road "just a bit farther" to see if we could get a better view:
Marty and Jason: I'm sorry we were so late. It's all my fault. Mathew: I'm sorry we didn't feed you sooner. We'll try to remember to bring a snack next time in case we get distracted again and forget to take you home. But, I'm not sorry we took the time to try to get these shots. Maybe tomorrow I'll play with them in Photoshop and see if I can remove some power lines. Stay tuned....
