This is off the focus of what I regularly post, but the photographer in me just had to share . . . .

My family and I saw two rainbows outside our back door Saturday evening after a bit of a freakish and brief thunderstorm. Around 6 to 6:30 p.m., it was only lightly raining in our back yard — across the street, the rain was coming down noticeably harder. When the rain turned to a sprinkle or light mist, we saw two rainbows!

Has anyone else seen two rainbows before? We had never seen two at one time before. One was dominant, but both visible. Below are four of the dozen or so photos I took:

In looking at the dominate (lower) rainbow, the colors were amazing. Not sure if you can see it, but the R-O-Y-G-B-I-V colors were clear.

Just gotta say, “Thank you, God for breaking out the second pallette Saturday evening!”
