'Blue Moon'
Double click to enlarge
This week I am very proud to be the guest host for Skywatch Friday, my header photo was selected for this honour. I took the picture of the huge storm cloud last July whilst we were under a tornado warning, this was the very clearly defined back edge of the storm as it headed east at sunset. I happened to look out of a window and spot this photo opportunity and knew I had no time to lose.
I grabbed the Hubster as my chauffeur, snatched up my camera and ran out the door, still in my pink furry cowboy boot slippers! We drove to the highest point in town, our cemetery which just happens to be the fave locals spot for watching storms, and so there I was visible to all in pink furry slippers snapping this picture. In September last year it won 2nd prize in a local museums annual photo contest, so I did at least get some major payback for my embarressment!

Awesome sky shot at Skywatch!!
Congrats for coming 2nd :) Great shot.
Hi Sarah, That sky picture of the tornado clouds is totally AMAZING.... It is truly a winner!!!! WOW!!!
We're having a wonderful time in Arkansas--but it's passing by too quickly. The weather has been great considering the fact that it was snowing at home.
Hugs,
Betsy
Congratulations Sarah for your great photograph at SKYWATCH headquarters!
The colors are just so intense and greatly captured!
Your moon shot is so inviting!
Your header is fabulous.. so dramatic! And I love the soft blue of the moon photo.
Absolutely, a prizewinner. I'm envious of the opportunity you had, and glad the huge weather front was going away, not towards you!
Congrats on being guest host for Skywatch, and a great posting it is for them.

Your blue moon is lovely, but the shot of those tornado clouds is absolutely stunning!
that header photo of yours really deserved to win! and btw, i love the blue moon too! :)
I love the blue moon! What a catch! I would not like to live in tornado alley and can see that watching the skies must be both exciting, a warning and picturesque.
First I have to thank you for visiting my blog. Please come again soon.
Of course I had to stop over to see what your blog was about and found your photo blog as well. Fantasically beautiful photos you capture!

Hey Sarah--
Love, love your guest host photo--but not sure if you know yet, your link (on #14 photo) doesn't work.

Lovely shot with the branches in the foreground.
I can see why!! The colors are so deep but with such a magnificant image- really dramatic capture! You ought to get just a shot of the furry boots too!! Well worth it!
This photo of the moon here is lovely too.
Congrats on being guest host. I always enjoy all your posts and photos
So happy you were featured on the header for today. That is one incredible view. You did an outstanding job capturing nature in all its glory.
Love your header - very dramatic. I'm not surprised you won a prize - should have been first, of course :-)
Your moon picture is beautiful - very romantic *sigh*
That storm shot is amazing, and you've done an incredible job with this moon capture as well!
