Oklahoma Skies

I think many people think of wind when they think of Oklahoma, and it is absolutely TRUE!  They didn't just write "where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain"  for the sake of a good rhyme.  You couldn't live in a windier place.

But I don't think many realize just how gorgeous our Oklahoma skies are.  We are blessed with them so much that we honestly take them for granted.  It is not until we travel to other places that we stop and think, "Where is the beautiful sunset I'm so fond of?"

Last week, a summer storm came and went rather quickly, but WOW what it created as it went.  In this picture you can see a rainbow on the left as the rain was leaving, the Asperatus clouds that followed the rain, and the blue sky edging its way in on the right.  It was truly a magnificent sight.


Thanks for letting me brag a little about our lovely state.
Y'all need to come visit!

    1. Thanks, Kitty! One of the most beautiful times to come is Spring - just after Valentines day, but before early May (that is tornado season and we don't like to scare folks away). We have the most amazing red bud trees. I hope you make it sometime.

    1. Congratulations, Angela!!! My daughter was married on September 5 in Eureka Springs, AR, which isn't too far from Tulsa. It was a gorgeous day for a wedding. Tulsa is a beautiful city. Welcome to our Sooner State.
