In these pictures you see a stop sign because I was coming home from an appointment on a highway and there was such an amazing sky that I wanted to photograph it.  However this is the type of highway that you don't pull over to take pictures if you have any common sense at all so I watched as I drove and the closer I got to home the less pretty sky there was to see and as I came off the exit ramp it was literally fading with only seconds to spare so I pulled over in the only space on the exit ramp (hence the exit sign) and snapped off four pictures.  In that time the colors in the sky disappeared.  When dusk is coming it wastes no time!

Deb, LOL, I know exactly how you felt here. I have often wanted to take a picture but alas, no place to stop and get the photo! And upon turning around to reposition myself, it is gone!

Good for you, those are beautiful!

Debra very interesting sky.  I know what you mean, some spot you just can't pull off and usually those are the spots with views you so want to capture.

I so enjoyed our conversation and I will keep in touch.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK,

Glad you caught them and safely Debra. We know exactly what you mean about them disappearing quickly, we've missed many because we couldn't pull over! Red skies at night well than, you should have a great day tomorrow! :)

Debra, beautiful sky.  It's interesting seeing photos from other parts of the country.  Aside from sky the other thing I noticed was the lack of leaves on the trees.  Spring/summer is pretty much underway here with lots of leaves on trees.  I have a young Japanese Maple that I've kept in a pot because I'm thinking of going Bonsai with it, anyway it's already decked out with leaves.

Sounds dangerous to me!  Be careful out there, girl, we don't want you getting yourself killed for a few photos.  You are a dedicated blogger!

I have done the same thing to pull over and take a shot of something that is beautiful like a changing sky line.

Debra, That was definitely a sky worth stopping to get a picture of! It's extraordinary, with the trees in the front.  Great job, but be careful out there. Us nutty bloggers can't help but stop for that perfect shot.

Isn't it frustrating when you can't find a spot to pull over when you know you have precious seconds to get that perfect photo?  What's even more frustrating is realizing you forgot to take your camera with you.

Hi Debra, I have had so many sunsets allude me ( no camera with me or no time or place to stop)that  think I shall never get them. But I do know this. If you really want to capture the good ones, they have certain conditions that create the right type of clouds that the sun reflects best in that can improve their likelihood. Get friendly with a  good weather man, tell him/her what you want  and I have an idea that you will soon capture some very special ones.
