Another Monday, another "Odd Shots Monday" shot. In order to participate in "Odd Shots", visit Katney's blog. Today, I am posting a pic from a pool party that I attended this weekend. I was taking pics of the kids playing and diving at the pool, and I turned around to see this...
Someone had left their goggles in the flowerpot. I found it odd. It was certainly my first time seeing it. Here are a couple of my favorite shots from the pool party (the child is just an arbitrary child who I found precious... that itty bitty actually dove in...)
I also took several shots of the sky between Friday, when I was privileged to have the base of a flanking line approach and pass over... I watched the whole process, totally mesmerized by it, taking pic the whole time... very cool. 
Then, on Saturday, bf let me know that he was on the look out for sun dogs within the significant cirrus patch that was setting up around the sun... never did see a sun dog, but it was a terrific sky. 
Thanks, bf, for pointing that out to me... I was so engrossed in the pool party, I almost missed it. Then, on Sunday, offering the most magnificent sunset illuminating a flanking line off to the west northwest. Bf also sent me a note and some supporting pics on his phone of this one... It was picturesque, and lucky me... I had my camera ready, so I set myself up for some shots on the way home from Mini-Dew's friend's house.
That was my favorite, but there were some others that I have decided to share, as well...
Revisiting the Mothers' Day tornado outbreak... I got this note about one of the tornadoes that day. I watched this one on radar... The most amazing tornado occurred in Darien, Georgia in McIntosh County. Darien is the city with the big outlet mall you see along I-95 when you’re driving to Florida. An EF-4 tornado with winds of 170-180mph was on the ground for 5.5 miles and injured nine people as it moved from west to east.
No weather here for a few days, but a slight risk appears in central Georgia through North Carolina tomorrow.
Happy Monday!

The Mystery of the Goggles in the Flowerpot! Lovely shot.
ReplyDeleteThe rest of your pics are excellent, too. I love sky shots.
Funny, huh? Thanks, Dragonstar. If you like sky shots, you should visit Tom's site on Fridays for the links to many sky watchers.
ReplyDeleteNow that is definitely strange. lol! I like all your pictures and I love the music and I have no idea who it is singing but he is good.
ReplyDeleteI must slow down when reading blogs. The first time through your post I read Google instead of goggles. I've done a lot of Googling, but never via a flower pot. Now that would be really odd.
ReplyDeleteVery cool sky photos.
I haven't looked at a weather map yet, but the south wind trying to rip the shingles off my north Arkansas roof tells be there must be a low pressure area somewhere in the middle of the country.
Keep up the great work, Dewdrop!
Not surprised about the Darien tornado. I saw the video of the damage and it got my attention becuse it isn't that far from where I had an internship in college.
ReplyDeleteNice cloud pics. Thanks.
Goggled Eyed flowers.. ha!.. stunning picture as always Dew..
ReplyDeleteTom
Dot, thanks! How cool, we left comments for each other at the exact same time. Check it out. Glad you enjoy my music and pics.
ReplyDeleteMarvin, Bet it's closer to you than me... lol. Yep, you can expect something nasty this week. Storm chasers are all in a frenzy over the set up. Flower pot googling... lol.
Mike, it's amazing to watch something happening on radar and then hear about that the real deal was. Surreal. Glad to share them. You told me to take those first ones. It was wild, Mike.
Tom, I appreciate you. Thanks!
Goggles in the Flowerpot is strange. As always great shots Dew!
ReplyDeleteJohn, Thanks bunches. I found it quite bizarre. Funny, how these odd shots just reveal themselves.
ReplyDeleteCute photo of the goggles in the flowers. Definitely an odd parking spot.
ReplyDeleteYour additional sky photos are great!
I hate to hear that Arkansas is in for more blows (your reply to Marvin's comments.)
Thanks, Pat. I appreciate that. As for Arkansas... doesn't actually look like a threat there, as much as further west... Thunderstorms today and tomorrow is the worst official word. I expect you to get a little of the stuff that will hover over the plains for Thursday, Friday, and Saurday. They will take a major beating. Sorry to worry you needlessly.
ReplyDeleteYes, an unusual place to find them but before I read what it was, I thought it was a small sculpture among the flowers. lol
ReplyDeleteA sculpture... lol.
ReplyDeleteYour skies are so much more interesting than what I'm seeing in Illinois. You've got so many gorgeous photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful set of photos. I love your photos, and the one of the child wrapped in the towel is stunning. It took me back so many years ago when my children had that cold look and were all wrapped up safely and warmly.
ReplyDeleteStrangely planted. I wonder what they will look like when they bloom.
ReplyDeleteMusings, You are living my dream, seeing the world. I can't wait to retire and be able to do that!!! I would imagine that you have your share of interesting skies. I appreciate the compliment.
ReplyDeleteAndree, Thank you so much. I felt kind of weird taking a picture of someone's child... but she was just so blasted cute. I couldn't resist. It reminded me of the same... the chattering lips. "No Mommy... I'm not c-c-c-cold."
Katney, Lol. What a thought!
Nice shots Chickadew! We finely got some rain today Yea!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree, the child is precious. ALl your pictures are great.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jess, and WOOHOO!!! About time.
ReplyDeleteAndrea, Thanks!! Bunches!
Love the sky shots. I hope to get more to share too. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are some very awesome pictures dew! I like the sky pics... :D
ReplyDeleteBeth, Thanks. I am so glad you are getting out again. It's wonderful to have you sharing the world through your perspective again.
ReplyDeleteIce, Thanks!! I love shooting the sky!
