    When I got home from work, it started to rain. Well... a nice like drizzle actually. And off to the East... what did appear.... a rainbow!

    And then a few minutes later... it turned into a DOUBLE! (Can you see it?)

    I think rainbows are such lovely things to behold. I always spend a extra bit of time just stopping and looking at them when I see them.
    You managed to catpture these quite nicely, Cheryl.

    Somehow a rainbow always manages to put a smile on my face. Your double one is lovely Cheryl.

    That is just beautiful. I think it is also very interesting that the sky above the rainbow is darker than below the rainbow. I noticed that on the last rainbow picture I took,also. I wonder why that is.

    Rainbows, the special part of a rainstorm, and doubles are extra special. Nice picture Cheryl.

    Thanks everyone. It was very pretty and lasted quite a while.
    When we were kids, we'd try convincing a grown-up to drive us over the end of the rainbow so we could get all the gold!
    :D
