On Sunday afternoon a really peculiar thing happened.
So peculiar, in fact, that some of the braver folk came out…on the roof for a closer look.
The first thing that got our attention was that everything–everywhere– turned yellow–and that’s while we were still in the house.
When we came outside the whole sky was totally yellow…
no matter which way you turned.
Don’t you find that particularly odd?
I do.
One of the kids said, “Ok, this is really freaky…”
eerie even…
you know, like, the end of the world kinda stuff.”
But as you can see–we’re still here. No apocalypse. No Millennium. No end of the world…for now.
In fact, within minutes the yellow sky started to fade away altogether…
and promptly turned…
pink.
I was at my moms house when this happened. It was Gorgeous! It made the grass look like a fake kind of green. I felt like I was in a dream.
We were sitting in my parent’s backyard and we thought it looked like tornado weather. This is how the sky looked in Kansas City all the time, in tornado season. Creepy!
Oh, I knowww. That’s exactly what it felt like.
Well, it’s a good thing I didn’t know THAT at the time. I would have freaked!
That sky was rad. I’m so glad you caught pictures of it. The end of the world is exactly what I was thinking…HAHA That was the most beautiful thing ever!!!
Well, I’m glad it wasn’t just us. It was cool–and I’ve never seen the whole world look so yellow. Ever.
It was awesome! I filmed some of it even because the WHOLE sky was so diverse! It was awesome! What a amazing moment!
Haha. I went for a walk and then made Charles and Rebekah come out to enjoy it for awhile! It was awesome! But I did totally freak Charles out. I loved how the grass looked. (Hey, April, it looks like the photo tools effect! 🙂 ) That kind of sky happens more often in Az during monsoon season.
Although it does look apocalyptic it is lovely in a Maxfield Parish kind of way. I lean towards the later.
Those are incredible pictures, thank you so much for sharing. I only heard about the solar eruption yesterday and England has been very overcast the last few days so we didn’t see anything like that.
