Beauty in the sky!!

The other night the sky was so full of color it was just gorgeous. I could not help myself, I just had to take pictures of it. How can the sky have so many beautiful colors all at one time. How can mother nature be so beautiful but at times be so dreadful and crude. How can it be so easy to take pictures of something so beautiful but then at the same time be so horrible taking pictures of a dreadful seen.
I just keep thinking to myself how cool and amazing it was to see. I also thought of how wonderful it was to share this moment with my husband. This doesn't happen everyday where the sky is filled with so many colors. I just ask why?
