June 14th - Fire!

If I hadn't been there I would look at this cloud and think it was a plume of smoke from a huge wildfire!

April 11th - Pele: Goddess of Fire

Can you see Pele peeking out from behind the steam cloud that billows up from this volcano emerging from the sea?

April 5th - Light Up the Sky!

Also not my backyard - but you gotta admit this is one crazy roman candle!

White flames on a bright blue background seem to lick the sky!

February 2nd - Gargantuan Gargoyle

Swooping down through the early evening sky, this could be a Gargoyle, a Chinese Dragon, or maybe Satan himself! I wouldn't want to live in that house...

January 8th - Firey furnace

The sky was ablaze with a firey furnace this morning!

HEY - look up!

Here in Central Florida we often hear "how can you stand it - it's so FLAT". People are unhappy because they say "you can't see anything" or "there's nothing to look at". Granted the flatness takes some getting used to if you come from somewhere that has hills or mountains. I felt the same way when I moved here from upstate New York several years ago.

I finally decided to post a 365 photo blog to draw attention to the AMAZING Central Florida views. These are views that never get boring because they change day to day - even minute to minute. To make this point, all the photos here will be from within 100 yards of my house (I may cheat if something amazing catches my eye elsewhere, but I'll try to keep it really close).

You may have figured out from the title of this blog that I've been talking about the sky. Nowhere have I ever seen such a variety of dramatic clouds, storms and light shows. I hope you enjoy looking at these photos as much as I enjoy taking them.
