Late June Sky Colors #SkywatchFriday

It is Independence Day where I live in the Southern Tier of New York State.  Tonight, many in our country will be looking towards the sky at fireworks shows.

We had ours though, yesterday afternoon, when a severe thunderstorm came through our area, downing trees, raining hail down on us, and disabling landline 911 (emergency) services. The building our year round farmer's market is located in was damaged and there will be no farmer's market Saturday.  Many county facilities and parks are closed until further notice.

We were fortunate; our power never went out and the pieces of tree branches that fell on my property were small.

I wasn't about to go out in that storm and take pictures, so these are from last week. 

The sky has its own colors, especially at sunrise and sunset.

For example, last week I was too late for the sunset, but not for the after show.
After sunset, the sky started its own show.

The trees learnt their own color.
Happy Independence Day to my readers living in the United States.
 
P.S. I had mentioned needing dental work in an earlier post.  Two days ago, my dentist extracted what was left of a molar, one that had a root canal and crown years ago.  Friday before last, the crown had come off while I was flossing.  The tooth underneath the crown had already broken in half (which I had never felt because of the root canal) and the dentist took out what was remaining.  He also needed to do a bone graft yesterday partially due to the complication.  In two weeks, I get the suctures out and then I will have the fun decision of either getting a bridge or an implant.  But again, it could have been worse.
