April 5th - Light Up the Sky!

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

April 4th - Discovery Shuttle Launch

Okay - so this wasn't in my backyard - but you could see it from my backyard! I was lucky enough to be invited by my BFF to see the Discovery Shuttle Launch up close and personal! This is the gaseous vapor that remained after the Shuttle was out of sight. I took this photo right at dawn, but since we had been up all night on this adventure I'm using it for this post.

April 3rd - Pacman in Pursuit

Chomping its way across the sky, this ghost doesn't stand a chance!

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

April 1st - Two Ladies

Looking up at the sky - hair blowing in the breeze - complete abandon!

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.
