When a storm moves south down to Florida, we may not get snow but we may get lots of rain. If a storm dumps several feet of snow, we can get rain all day or even maybe into the second day. When the front with lots of moisture arrives, we can get a spectacular sunrise or sunset due to the moisture in the air. Today’s photos are from a brilliant fiery morning before over a day of rain.

Florida Days
Today I’m sharing photos taken on 3 separate days here in central Florida. The first is the foggy gray morning that can happen in winter. Warm moist winds off the Gulf blow in on cooler moist ground and fog appears. I no longer worry about driving in it since I’m retired. I’ve always enjoyed watching fog and think of Carl Sandberg’s poem. It’s one of my favorites.

January Morning Skies
For the last month as snow storms hit other areas of the country, Florida has gotten multiple cold fronts coming in from the north. You wake up to gray skies, thin gray clouds, and little sun. It looks like snow clouds to me but we’re too far south. Often the cold fronts bring us cold to the bone rain. (I know it’s not cold to northerners but it’s cold to Floridians.) So I am always happy when the gray is blown away and blue skies return with thin wispy white clouds.

My Favorite Nature Photos of 2022
Tuesday I shared the most popular posts in terms of visitors in 2022. Today I’ll share my favorite nature photos from last year. If you’ve visited me before you probably know a beautiful view of the sky is one of my great loves. A sunrise is a free gift and can only be surpassed by a stunning sunset. I hope I’ve included some of your favorite photos too.

My Last Sunset For 2022
I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and share a soft sunset in my back yard. This is the last sundown I will share in 2022. I’m looking forward to lots of sunrise beauty as well as images of dusk that we all will share in the coming year. May we all have a new year of health, happiness, and love.

Egret in the Garden
Sometimes we only have moments to try to capture special views of nature. First I’d like to share the instance of an egret in my friend’s garden. Egrets in Florida usually come in pairs or groups and forage the yard for food. At a slight movement by a human, away they fly. This time the bird just watched and didn’t leave. Time to attempt to capture a photo or two.

Magenta Sunset
As the rainstorm drew to an end, the moisture in the air caused a magical sky. The colors of pink, magenta, and purple filled the air as the sun slowly set.

It’s A Beautiful Morning
In the fall as the days grow shorter, sunrise comes later. The fall back for Daylight Savings had not happened, and I was able to capture a really beautiful morning here in Florida.
