This is about 1 minute after lift-of, the entire eastern skyline began to glow orange, it was really cool!!
Then the glow got brighter and more defined as the shuttle began to get higher and higher in the sky.
Then as the shuttle got farther and farther away, it didn't glow as orange, it glowed more whitish. The 
last little speck is the last time I could see it with my naked eye (or with my zoom lens) right before the shuttle dropped the booster rockets.

It was really exciting to watch, even if we stayed up late to watch it... which I usually do anyway, to blog... 
Sorry the pictures aren't any clearer... but I did my best... If you'd like to see some really great pictures, her is a terrific link to our local news station, WKMG Local-6.
Until next time..... Lorie

That is so awesome! One time when my oldest daughter and I were traveling through Fl, we stopped at a rest area and actually seen the shuttle going up. It was really a cool thing to see!
Great pictures. Very cool!
