Sailors Take Warning!

I grew up on the sea – or at least on an inland outpost of the sea. There was a verse we learned early in our lives:

Red sky at night – Sailor’s delight,
Red sky at morning – Sailors take warning!

Here is the sky this morning:

Half an hour later, there was a sunrise, but I laughed when I saw how dim the sun was, and how magnificent the reflections were off the clouds – who would think the sun could be a bit player in a sunrise?

Have a GREAT day, Q8!

  3. LOL, BoJacob! I read your comment to my husband, and we both laughed!

    Haven’t seen you around for a while, Wizardous! How are you? You doing OK?

  4. I remember that saying – we learned it too, in very un-maritime Iowa :).

    Those sunrise photos are magnificent – thank you for sharing them!

  5. Absolutely beautiful photos. My dad, a native of Seattle and a Coast Guardsman, often quoted that expression to my brothers and me as children. Here in Doha we are also experiencing some of these lovely cloudy skies….now if it would just RAIN!

  6. LOL – I can imagine in Iowa it would be a little irrelevant, Little Diamond!

    It is looking very much like rain today in Kuwait, Grammy, at least near my place! Insh’allah!
