Red Sky in the morning

My years of living on the mountain overlooking Roanoke, VA and capturing sunrises trained me to on the alert for unusual light in the morning.

I scared both my wife and the cat who was curled up at her feet when I bounded out of bed this morning.  Red light streaming in my window alerted me to something strange happening.

I pulled on my shorts and tee shirt, grabbed a camera from the kitchen, and bounded up the stairs with the cat hot on my heels.  He assumes that he gets a deck walk when I go out there to take pictures.

I quickly snapped a few shots and ushered the cat back inside.  The red light coming over the pine trees was pretty impressive and not a good sign for the upcoming day.

After fortifying myself with a cup of coffee and an apple, I headed on my morning rounds.  I was shocked to see a rainbow over the new section of Bluewater Cove.  In fact when I looked closely the southern end of the rainbow was actually showed hints of being a double rainbow.

I am not sure how balance the red sky with a double rainbow.

We got two inches of rain last night, and we have see some showers today.  We have also heard plenty of thunder.  It has not been a nice beach day

However, it was not a bad day for our three times a month real estate caravan.  With today's caravan, I have introduced a new feature on my real estate site.  I am calling it Caravan Talk.  It provides a quick comment or two about each property we see on the caravan plus a link to the property on MLS.

Hopefully for those interested in staying on top of new properties, reading Caravan Talk is another way to do that.
