Rainy Morning Moment

While driving to work this morning in the rain, the clouds broke over the mountain.  Sunlight streamed through, I was in a pool of light.  Just ahead of me a rainbow, of bright color arched into a grove of golden cottonwoods.  This morning I did see gold at the end of the rainbow.

November Sun

I work in a Victorian Home with fantastic beveled glass windows.  Today the November sun created rainbows and shadows.

Last Night's Storm

A quick storm passed over last night.

Rainbows - Beginning & End

I woke this morning to a much needed autumn rain.  The rain clouds defused the morning light creating a yellow-gold glow which highlighted the edges of the mountain cliffs.  The rain saturated the autumn colors- orange, red, yellow and green against the black trunks of maple trees.  The wet intensified the scent of autumn, the scent of damp earth, and ripening acorns.  Mollie and I enjoyed our walk through the rain and were gifted with the beauty of a morning rainbow.  It is lovely to have your day begin with the gift of a rainbow.

As the day continued, we experience a variety of weather, including rain, hail, thunder, sunshine, and cloud cover.

Then on our evening walk, just before sunset in the canyon, the sun broke though.  Looking up the canyon, Mollie and I viewed an evening rainbow.  What loveliness to have a day begin and end with the beauty of a rainbow.

Even a light evening rain can produce a rainbow!

Friday with an incoming storm, a rainbow appeared for a short time over the mountains. This is the best thing about digital cameras, you can keep them at hand and don't need to worry about film.
