Picture of the Day for July 7, 2020

I had finished the mowing and a few other chores outside when I came in for supper this evening. The next thing I noticed was water dripping off the roof but the sun was shining. So I grabbed my camera as I figured there would be a rainbow and when I started out down to my pond, it was just light sprinkles. In a few minutes, those tiny drops turned into lots of big drops that pelted me and caused big splashes in the pond. Between scrambling to keep my camera dry under my shirt (which was soaked very quickly) and someone forgetting to change the exposure setting from the moon shots, not too many pictures turned out without raindrops on the lens. I was standing close to this same spot, but this rainbow was taken on a different day when there was only one raindrop on the camera lens and I didn’t get as soaked taking the picture.
