Before the Rains Came

Before the rain came yesterday evening, clouds piled all around. This was the view to the south between Turkeycock and Chestnut Mountains:


Looking west, toward Jack's Mountain, the clouds looked like this:



In the pasture and facing north, I could see ominous clouds over the horses:



Later, when I stood in the front yard, and looked west over the pines, I could see a face in the clouds:


Is it someone with a pug nose facing right and looking down? Or is it a guy with a beard lying down and looking up? A few minutes later, the pug-nosed person had vanished and the guy with a beard had sat up:


Looking eastward toward Smith Mountain (the lump beyond the cornfield), I could see a hole in the clouds.


Meanwhile, the flowers around the gazebo waited for the rain:




At sunset, the clouds turned pink and rain fell.

"Red sky at night" is supposed to mean fair weather. Is there a different rule for a pink sky?
