double rainbow

double rainbow

Monmouth County experienced a double rainbow tonight!

The sky was dark around suppertime, and rain started falling around 7:00. Around 7:15, it started getting lighter, but the rain was still comin' down. And we all know what rain + sun equals! Hopeful, I went outside (with my camera nice and dry beneath my jacket).

NOTHING.

I went back inside and took off my jacket; within 3 minutes my mother called (from 10 miles away).

"Look outside! There's a double rainbow!!!"
"But I was JUST out there, looking!"
"Well, it's out NOW! I'm staring straight at it! Go look!"

So I did, and there it was.

Both of the rainbows were FULL ARCS, too, but suburbia with all its fabulous trees and rooftops was in the way, so I couldn't photograph the whole thing.

But still. VERY COOL.

Amazing shot - it looks like the rainbow on the left is molded perfectly over that tree.

Nice photography. Unusual to see two rainbows. Twice as many pots of gold.

I am back from my self-imposed vacation.

Nikon- Ah, well, yes, I MEANT TO DO THAT. *cough*
Thanks! ;)

Lincoln- It IS unusual. I think the last time I saw one was when I was 3, in the supermarket parking lot.

Wow. I can't tell you how long it has been since I saw a rainbow here. To see a Double Rainbow would be absolutely amazing.
