A cold December Day

The fall colors are starting to really peak but the temperatures have fallen and it’s very windy.  The sun finally came out after several days but it’s only going to get to 55 degrees today.

On Wednesday it rained pretty much all day. There had been a cold front moving in from the Gulf of Mexico and passing through during the day.  It was gray and rainy all day.  On my way home from work I saw the end of the front. In the sky there was a line showing where the front ended and the clear sky began. As you looked up the sky was dark gray on one side and a sunny yellow/orange on the other.  The sun was getting ready to set and was low in the sky causing the beautiful colors.  On top of that there was the most beautiful rainbow.  I pulled over and took a few photos with my cell phone camera but of course they didn’t turn out very well.  Al was at home and also noticed the beautiful sky and he actually saw a double rainbow.  He got a few shots but he isn’t too familiar with my camera, but I think he did a pretty good job.

Beautiful photographs, Karen, and what a contrast with North Georgia, where the trees are mostly bare by now and we almost had snow early this morning!

Very pretty photos - was surprised that the leaves were still on the trees.
