Red Sky in the Morning

The photos in todays post are from a couple of morning walks down by the docks and fishing fleet here in New Bedford

The title for this post comes from the old saying
Red sky in morning, sailor's warning.
red sky at night sailors delight

Although when I grey up we said it with Shepard and not sailor, but with New Bedford's whaling and fishing history Sailor seems more apt for this post.

And I got curious while appearing this if there is any scientific logic to this saying and it seems there is
A red sunrise can mean that a high pressure system (which is generally good weather) has already passed, thus indicating that a storm system (low pressure) may be moving to the east and hence storms may be coming.

More boats and different skies

I find it interesting looking ta the boat names when walking around the docks, Such as this one Elizabeth and Nikki, and wonder about the significance of them, in this case I have no idea.

I remember the sky the morning I took this next shot was soft pastel colors and so quickly changing

And as I was preparing this post i had a thought, not something I do to often as it can make ones brain hurt LOL. but that led me to decide to add this Thoughtful content for the @thoughtfuldailypost tag hosted by @wesphilbin

And my thought was, I think we all have thinks we do at times which are based on perhaps habit or some life experience we had when younger that we do without even thinking about them, and sometime sit comes as a WOW kind of moment when you realize that's something you do.
In my case it was the realization that when I take photos of boats, the ones that catch my eye most for photos are red ones, for example in this post 3 of the 5 photos the boats are red.

Now I know I love blue and purples, and of course the greens of nature, but the fact looking through my photos I take a disproportionately more photos of red boats than others.
And that got me thinking what other quirks do I do out of habit without thinking about it.

And a few came to mind and I wont go into them all here, but it was something interesting to think about
