Double Rainbow
Posted by Marion (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 6 August 2008 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.
We were just arriving home one night after a short rain fall and saw this beautiful double rainbow in the sky.
Kylie Greenan from Richmond, Australia
Wow, you don't see these very often, my Dad used to tell me when I was a little girl that it meant God was watching over you closely and sending you love and this was a sign so you would know. Thanks for the lovely reminder :o)

@Kylie Greenan: I love what your Dad said Kylie. What a lovely thought and as He is always watching over us and caring for us it is so true.

@Judy: Thanks Judy. It was a case of just being in the right place at the right time. I was not terribly pleased with the clarity of the shot. Had to focus on the trees and then crop, but at least I was able to share it with you.
@Rags: Me too. God's promises!!
@Erik: Lucky, just plain lucky. Thanks Erik.
@saeed: Thanks dear Saeed. I love them too.

A double rainbow..... that's two pots of Gold, one for you and one for me :) Nice shot Marion, it looks a very stormy sky.
On todays BBC News; US mid-west hit by freak storms, you are no where near..?

@Observing: You are so nice you can have the bigger one!! It was one of those days when it rained some, sun shone through and then it rained again. You know blink and the weather changed. However we had quite a storm a couple of days later. No we are nowhere near the US mid-west, so no freak storms. Thanks for your concern Mike.
@Betty: Thank you dear Betty.
Earnest from Oklahoma, United States

@Earnest: I know I was lucky. Don't like it as well as I like your butterfly though. Awesome picture.
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
A great reminder of the Wonder of the Light, it's beautiful Marion :)

@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine. After viewing yours today, I wonder if I could do something spectacular with this or perhaps I should just leave well enough alone.
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
Looks like they are plummeting to earth marking that spot where the pot of gold is. Doubly lovely, Marion.
