It’s been hot and sunny for a couple of weeks. A significant weather front passed by, but my area got virtually nothing in the way of rain.

What we did get, was a brief thunderstorm around 5:15 EDT. I haven’t seen a rainbow in almost three years. Actually there are two rainbows.

The whole event lasted about 15 minutes. Enough for me to get some images. There was no where near enough rain to produce mushrooms or quench thirsty trees. The leaves are dried and shriveled. There’s some color, but unless we have rain, I’m afraid that we might not have a great leaf season.

But until then, it has been a great week to watch the sky. A full moon and a double rainbow are truly among nature’s most beautiful gifts.

I did videotape these rainbows, but its harder to see the upper rainbow.
