Morning colors

The clouds picked up a really eerie shade of pink this morning.

I've gotten some nice morning shots before. And then there was a sunrise just recently.

Here's an explanation of "Red sky at night ..."

Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning. A red sunrise reflects the dust particles of a system that has just passed from the west. This indicates that a storm system may be moving to the east. If the morning sky is a deep fiery red, it means a high water content in the atmosphere. So, rain is on its way.

The clouds this morning were taken in the E/SE sky. Eventually an short storm blew through, though it appeared to be traveling to the west as the eastern sky cleared while the ominous blue clouds remained in the west. In fact I thought we had a chance for a rainbow with the sun in the east and the storm apparently passed to the west. But none appeared.
