Shepherd's Delight - a photo on Flickriver

Shepherd's Delight

            The phrase "Shepherd's Delight" will have meaning for most english speakers but for those of you whose first language is not English the phrase comes from an old saying, as follows: "Red sky at night, shepherd's delight. Red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning." 

I've since learned that apparently the phrase first appears in the Bible in the book of Matthew. It is an old weather saying, often used at sunrise and sunset to signify the changing sky and was originally known to help the shepherds prepare for the next day's weather.
