Gray Skies and Yellow Flowers

So I woke up this morning to thunderstorms.  As I was heading to work, I looked up at the skies and thought they looked pretty cool.

 Right after I parked the car, I took this shot.  I kind of liked it but I didn't think the skies looked ominous enough.

 So I put the camera in manual and went for a slightly darker picture.  I like it well enough.

 Then I saw the lines from our building but I should have kept the settings from the other pictures.

 Then I took some pictures of the flowers in front of the building.  I liked the look of the droplets on them.

 From another angle.

 After lunch, I decided to take a walk around the building.  I don't think I've ever seen a green pine cone before.

 So I got a pair from another angle.  I can say that spring is definately here.

 Some milkweek.  Wish the seeds were still in them though.

 A thistle.

 I forget what kind of flowers these are.

 I kind of liked the field of goldenrod set against the evergreens.  I even got enough of an angle so I didn't get the Ann Arbor News building in this shot.

 A daisy.

 I liked the look of these flowers.

 Another daisy.  I kind of liked the branch going across it.

Another flower we have in front of the office.

Sailor's Delight

I decided to go see Planes tonight but as I was heading out to the car I looked up at the sky and thought that it looked pretty cool.  It was almost a nice red color and I remembered the saying, "Red sky in the morning, sailor's take warning...red sky at night...sailor's delight".

 There is actually a reason for this saying.  Typically weather moves from west to the east. Clear skies to the east in the morning show red to the clouds coming from the west and vice versa.

But anyway, I thought the sky itself looks pretty cool.
