Turn Around

   By the time I was able to get myself outside today, things were awash in the most glorious golden hue.  I noticed it first even before opening the French doors.  Every pane was reddened!  Once outside, the gardens were golden, the trees were golden and the waters of the Bayou were golden.  Oh, my!  It was as if I had stepped into an entirely different world.

 

  My step quickened as I wanted to get to the pier before this phenomenon ended.  I had to see what was happening with the sunrise!  Once there, I was a bit disappointed with the eastern horizon.  There was not a lot going on there but turning to the north and then to the west, I was purely blown away by the sky.  Wow!  The entire sky was ablaze with brilliant oranges and reds as a thunderstorm was threatening just west of us.  I was able to photograph the gorgeousness before it finally faded away as the sun rose above the pines.  Then, the clouds turned dark and ominous causing me to head back to the Little Bayou House.
