George writes, "The sailors on the old sailing ships had a saying, 'Red sky at night, sailor's delight; Red sky's in the morning sailors warning.' (I expect they would have claimed this evening's sky red, since orange rhymes with neither night or morning.) This photo was taken in my back yard." Comments | Permalink Older Photos
