Skywatch

Discovered this fantastic sunset blazing away out there when I stepped out the front door for some reason!

A storm approaches
Another wonderful sunset

Did anyone get a photo of, or even hear of a green comet...said to have been visible in our northern sky between 3am and 4am the other morning (Australia). I am so cross with myself for not getting up to see it! They say it wouldn't be visible again for some many (millions) of more years !

You are right. The rays do go the opposite way from mine. The photographs you posted for this SkyWatch is very nice. I like the colors and the way you took the photo. I wonder if I can ever measure-up to some of the brilliant photography I have seen today? Thanks for your past visits and I hope someday to see you on one of my blogs again.

These photos are spectacular and breathtaking. I thought I was going to say the first two were my favorite until I saw the rest, and now I cannot pick a favorite.

Yes, I heard about that comet the other night, but I forgot about it and slept through the entire event.

Firey skies are beautiful - especially love that very last photo. Sorry you missed the green comet. There will probably be other phenomena coming up soon so don't fret!

Great skies Annie, that second is just mind blowing!
I missed the comet too, only because I did not know what time it was going to be vivible. They mentioned it on the news but gave no time.
