A Skilligimink Sky outside our front door on July 18th, 2011 at 9:11:59 pm

I’m not certain why, but there seem to be more Skilligimink Skies than ever. Perhaps there’s something in the air that creates just the perfect sky-blue-pink?

We have been rained on in Cleveland for more days (weeks?) than I can ever remember. This photo was taken on the way to swim practice on a rare sunny afternoon recently. A whole lot of sky-blue and quite a bit of pink tree blossoms.

Skilligimink Sunset

Skilligimink Sunset (March 2nd, 2011)

Skilligimink Sunset, Cleveland Heights, March 2nd, 2011

About a month ago (March 2nd, 2011) folks in Cleveland Heights were treated to a spectacularly Skilligimink sunset. The pinks were coming out so far from the horizon that it was absolutely astounding.

Alas, I only had my iPhone’s onboard camera and not my Canon, so you’ll just have to trust me. This wretched photo just doesn’t do it justice.
