Granddaughter Anna (20) sent these two photos of the sky. She took them from the seventh floor of the library. Sunset was at 7:55 and she texted me these at 7:17. These two pictures of the sky would perfectly illustrate the adjective foreboding.

I thought them quite a contrast to yesterday‘s post of grandchildren’s rainbows.

A Little Rough

A little smooth.

Textures from Athens, Ohio and Columbus. I always feel I need to add the state of Ohio after I write Athens so there’s no confusion as to my location.
