Red Sky at Night






Sailor's Delight.
I think some lovely chickadees have already posted what they've captured of the sky last Friday night here in good old nyc: rachel, marie, elizabeth...here are the bonbon additions, fashionably late to the red sky party.
I think someone even knows what those clouds are called... grapey clusteroos (that's the scientific name)...a very inspiring sky for shnizzle.

    Mammatus!

    I had never heard the word until two commenters left it on my post. And an even weirder name, in Afrikaans, is apparently muistiete (pr. "maysteatuh"), which translated literally, including crudeness = mousetits.

    Don't ask me.

    That's one heck of a mouse.

    You may be late to the party, but you know how to make an entrance
    :-)

    That's so funny...I have a couple of "Red Sky Over Wegmans" pics I took on the same night. They are, however, still trapped in my camera.
