The sky in my very own neighborhood

Okay, so this was a few weeks ago...and it would have been cooler if I was one of those "on the ball" kind of bloggers that would have posted the "day of", but oh well. I love watching the shuttle launch from our house. Something that is a definite perk to living in Florida. A few weeks ago I was out for a run in the early morning around 6 a.m. and the shuttle took off. I knew what time to look for the light and it was amazing to first see the sky light up, and then to see the shuttle itself a few seconds later. After it had gone quite a way up in the sky, then I finally heard the sound. I usually don't hear the take off clear out here in my neighborhood, but maybe it was so loud because of the early hour and the world was quiet. It was a delayed rumbling and shaking. Anyway, I only had my phone camera with me, but I took a bunch of shots. As I kept running, I noticed the trail that the shuttle had left behind. As the sun hit it, it just looked beautiful. Kind of like a "sign" in the sky, like something from Harry Potter...but less sinister than death eaters. I stopped to take quite a few pics as the sun moved across the trail. What an amazing sight...and what a great way to make my run go by so quickly.

Not the best quality pics with my cell phone, but you can get the idea. It was really so beautiful.
