Rainbows and Rain

Last night I got all happy-snappy with my crummy little digital (can't WAIT to get the new one!!!) and my big fat ancient Minolta, all thanks to a wonderful rainy evening.

First shot was rain moving across the bay and mountains (Minolta only), and then as it cleared the sun shot through to create an absolutely brilliant double rainbow. It was still raining heavily, but I dashed out (slippers and all) to snap away as many frames as I dared.

This morning I uploaded the digital ones - and the camera's playing up again, but I managed to get a few good shots. Here's a small portion of what we saw:



The scene was constantly changing as strong wind drove the rain and clouds at angles over the sunlight. Some things are better seen in person than trying to capture them on film!

Funny how we seemed to be the only ones who noticed the amazing display and dared go outside to experience it... Don't the others see such amazing stuff, or do they see it and simply not care?
