The day was wet with some rain showers, but close to sunset, a double rainbow did appear in the sky.

Some communities have their firework display scheduled for tonight, but nature provided its own fireworks in the form of lightning as the thunderstorms arrived this afternoon with much needed rain, although with the dry, hard ground a lot of the rain probably ran off without soaking in. There was wind and hail too and just as the storm was ending, the power went out. But a rainbow also appeared in the sky as the storm moved away.

Although there was some light rain today, I didn’t see a rainbow but there was one earlier this week on the shore of Lake Superior.

The above normal temperature this afternoon felt nice, but it was still below freezing so unlikely to be walking on the beach in shorts or wading into the water since there is already ice forming on Lake Superior. And more likely to see snowflakes in the sky and not rainbows this cloudy day.

I always enjoy visiting a waterfall and once in a while I am lucky to be present when the sun angle and wind speed are just right to create a rainbow in the mist from the falling water.

With the brief rain shower this evening, a faint rainbow appeared for a few moments though the cow and calf didn’t seem to notice.

The last two days have been rather wet with all the rain and my pond is overflowing, but yesterday there was a brief rainbow. The early season rainbow looked similar to this late fall rainbow when the trees are still bare.

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.

The storms brought more rain today and maybe some saw a rainbow afterwards and I always enjoy seeing the full ones or the bright ones.

After the main wave of storms rolled through this evening, a double rainbow appeared across the sky as the sun slipped below the horizon. The pink sky from the setting sun had lightning mixed in with the rainbow show too.
