My friend Missy, who happens to be a Pilates instructor, and I went for a sunset walk on New Smyrna Beach Thursday night.

We kept commenting on the uniqueness of the sky. It was an unusual shade of orange mixed with browns.

It took a few minutes, but then I remembered, "Ah! the Saharan dust plume".

It traveled five-thousand miles to get to the United States and is expected to hang around throughout the weekend.
