Looking westward from my front yard
Wednesday evening, the kids and I were watching a movie upstairs - an older version of the sci-fi/horror film
The Thing. At some point, John-Heath decided to look out the window to see if John was home. When he pulled the curtain back it revealed a really beautiful - and equally creepy - sunset, so the three of us put the movie on pause and headed out to get a better view. We ambled around outside, looking upward like the people you see in alien movies. It had been a hot day and rained a little in the afternoon and we were left with this. I'm glad I grabbed my camera on the way out, because within ten minutes it was gone and darkness arrived. Take a look.
Beautiful and ominous all at the same time.

Looking from the front porch through the river birch and crepe myrtle trees and the laurel shrubs
(which all need a good trim)
A northern view
A final look at the house.
There's something about this shot that makes us of think of some kind of Alfred Hitchcock house.
What do you think?

Hey, Tyla! We saw it, too, and, yes, it left me with a 'what in the world?' feeling. I tried to capture it in photos, but they didn't do it justice. Yours are pretty good, though! Blue skies and even grey skies I can handle, but this yellow stuff, well...too eerie for me! ~Angie
