I really blame Sandy, of course. On my drive to work this morning, I just had to stop the car and take some pictures of the sky.

Isn’t it stunning? This is facing East into the sun as it rose, and the clouds are busy scudding off–it was mostly blue overhead, and off on the horizon, you can just see a long front of clouds brilliantly backlit. They ran the whole length of the horizon, and I wasn’t quite able to capture that gorgeous gold glow. (Hey, my Canon Elph is a great little camera, but it’s not exactly professional equipment, you know? But proper cropping can do wonders…)

It’s been raining for the last several days, of course. (You may have heard about the Northeast coast’s Nor’easter?) We were lucky enough to just get rain and some wind, though I saw a couple trees down today, and one fell on a passing car in Morris Twp yesterday and killed the driver . . . but really, we missed the worst of the storm. But still, it sure was pretty to see the sun today!

We even got Chappy out for a walk this afternoon, and my hands looked rather more green than blue, and my gloves were very happy to be out and about. And they did a decent job keeping my hands warm, too . . . except when the wind would blow!
