Double rainbow




This was the first time I've seen a double rainbow in my whole life. It stayed bright and remained in a full arc for about 20 minutes. It poured rain hard, right as the sun was beginning to set; through the rain this full rainbow appeared.

I didn't get great pictures of it, they'll never transfer the true beauty of what I saw today. The camera can't capture the sound of the pounding rain and the feel of the warm air and the delight and surprise of looking upward and seeing a double rainbow for the first time. It really made my jaw drop. It's funny how the simplest thing can surprise you and totally change you.

The third picture is of the rain stopping and the sun blasting through the trees toward me. The sky and the light were marvelous together.

This whole experience was so uncomplicated and so vivid.

I really felt the happiness of a kid again.
