You gave a perfect description of your skies! You are right about the horror stories, but Pont was an Englishman and he knew exactly where to find the British characteristics and pecularities. And it's funny that a grandmother should read a horror story to a baby, who doesn't understand it at all, but likes to listen to her voice.
You do have lovely sky views and they come out so well on your post. Where we live, we have so many tall pine trees around us, that the sky is not very visible. I would have to drive to the top of Kennesaw Mountain to get a view and I should do that sometime but today the sun is not out and everything is grey.

I'm the author of The Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries from Bantam Dell. The series includes SIGNS IN THE BLOOD (LA MONTAGNE DES SECRETS in France), ART'S BLOOD, (LE SECRET DES APPALACHES in France,) OLD WOUNDS,IN A DARK SEASON (Anthony Nominee, Best PBO), and UNDER THE SKIN. There's also THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS (a spinoff/standalone)chronicling the unexpected life story of Miss Birdie, one of Elizabeth's neighbors.
I came to this weird business late (my first novel was published in 2005) and am still trying to figure it out.
As my novels are set in a place much like my real life home, I thought I'd use this blog to share pictures of our farm and county. I've been blogging for over four years now, on an almost daily basis, and the topics have ranged from writing, chickens, food, books, quilts, flora and fauna of all sorts, to the occasional tiny rant. There's no plan, but there are lots of pictures.
There's more information about me and my books on my web site: http://vickilanemysteries.com/

The third photograph, in particular, is almost like something from sci-fi. It really looks as though the sky is being stretched to bursting!

Martin, I was on the way home from grocery shopping and that sky was so spectacular I had to pull to the shoulder of the highway to get the picture.
True enough, Reader Wil!

Beautiful photos, Vicki!
