Sunrise 1 May 2008 SSDD
As an Army wife, I was exposed to a lot of rough language through the years, and as I got up this morning and looked at the “sunrise” I had this thought: Same (stuff) different day.
The haze gives me a little headache; I don’t know if it is from the glare of the sun bouncing off all the particles, or whether the particles themselves are headache inducing. The haze seems to be increasing, and I wonder if we are in for another sandstormy day.
I am happy to say that yesterday, as the sandstorm went on, I saw more and more motorists stopping and waiting until the storm had passed, and fewer and fewer idiots driving fast and laying on the horn to warn everyone to get out of their way. Idiots!
Here is today’s sunrise, on May 1, 2008:

It’s 81°F / 27°C at 0730 on a Thursday morning.
Update: LOL, I just looked at yesterday’s photo and it is almost exactly the same.


oh no:< not again
Maybe not, MiYaFuSHi! If dust is forecast, maybe not. It seems to spring on us when it is not expected!
Sigh another wonderfully dusty day. Better get used to it.
I don’t remember so much dust last year. I wish we could have a couple good rains and get it all washed out of the air!
I showed my husband your pictures from yesterday, never having seen anything like them. He was very blase and said, “Oh yeah, we had that in Saudi.” He just didn’t take pictures!
Momcat, when you are in the middle of a duststorm, there isn’t much to photograph. I only got the photos I did because I am high up, but you can see from the first one – mostly, all you see is ORANGE! LOL at hubby!
