We don’t live out West, known as big sky country… but we sure have some beautiful sky shows around here sometimes… Last night a storm blew in and blew out… leaving an amber glow and then these strange but beautiful clouds….
Note the golden glow…
And these weird clouds…
The barn roof reflecting the gold…
Weird weather.
Love that twilight time to take pictures, the glow off the barn says there's gold in there! You already knew those horses were treasures, didn't you?
Awesome pictures! Hope you got some rain and cooler tempatures from the storm!
oh, i call those clouds 'intestine' clouds because they look like ropes of colons across the sky! they're usually packed with hail and high winds. but i love that odd golden light they share too. really beautiful.
Gorgeous…your home looks so beautiful under that sky!
Weird and beautiful at the same time. I love pretty sky and cloud pictures. These are great.
Weird weather, but awesome photography on your part!
Those clouds are awesome!
Great cloud photos. Love your backyard and garden areas! And I just have to know… what room in your house has that amazing arched window?
Beautiful photos! Surprisingly we didn't get that weather. I love the veiw from the patio!
Cool clouds, they look like huffalumps but then I may have just watched too much Winnie the Pooh in the last decade. Possibly. Maybe.
Really lovely, and a little eerie too! Seems like I recall hearing that when the skies have that golden hue, it's because of dust particles in the atmosphere. Your farm looks gorgeous in the light!V
Gorgeous photo's, Karen. Wish I was there lounging with you and a glass of wine; of course then you'd have to haul my butt inside. 🙂
Lovely! Must be Mother Nature rewarding you for the hours spent making those pickles!
OH-gorgeous!!! The one above the house looks like God's fingers- xo Diana
Beautiful and spooky at the same time 😉
I love the big beautiful sky! I'm always looking UP! ♥
What beautiful clouds and sky, Karen! The clods almost look knuckle like…aren't they the dangerous ones?…:)JP
I'd never seen anything like it. It was like being on another planet….like I would know what that was like:)

Those ARE some strange clouds! Awesomely strange.
Yes, there was that weird orange hue after the storm…very interesting clouds over your place!
These clouds are a rare sight and a real treat. They're mammatus clouds.

Love your photos here.
Gorgeous, I always love the golden light at this time of the year. I spent the weekend trying to capture it as well. I am sad to see the sun is already setting by 9 pm but I'll take what I can still get of it! Those clouds almost don't look real!
Amazing pictures. Your back yard is so beautiful with the glow. The clouds look like giant cotton balls. Never seen anything like that. Debi
Those clouds are EERIE…..what's up with that???
You DO realize that you live in paradise….right??? I LOVE your place Karen…just cannot get enough!!! Your photography is awesome!!
I LOVE those shots.
Karen, do you live in Maine? Sure looks like our coast.
We had thunderstorms the other night, sounded like a war.
It is weird weather. Your Dog is beautiful.

Hi Karen!
Isn't it funny to think that you are in CT and I am in Illinois and we are under the same "big sky" sharing the same weather pattern in a manner of hours?
Last night. at around six p.m. the sky turned black/gray and storm clouds blew in. High winds and torrential downpours. Then followed by a yellow sky. Then golen yellow. Then orange and pink. Then it cleared up for a while with weird pillow puff clouds.
I should have taken pictures like you did!!!
Instead I was consoling scared pups and making dinner!
Your property is so gorgeous.

those clouds look painted on a watercolor sky. i've never seen anything like ti.
What strange but beautiful clouds. I have seen that funny golden glow before. Sort of scary but cool at the same time.
You saw the same kind of clouds that I did! Check out my post http://porchdays.blogspot.com/2011/08/stranger-and-stranger.html
We don't have much open sky around my house. I had to shoot between the trees. The post explains what kind of clouds they are and there is a link. Nancy
