Epic double rainbow!

Last night at dinner, it was raining dismally - not the good kind of soothing, pounding thunderstorm but an irritating drizzle with dampness and gray skies. But all of a sudden I noticed a patch of sunlight on the wall and realized out loud: "It's  rainbow weather!" So I dashed outside in my pajamas and looked around, at first disappointed by the rainbow(or lack thereof) - and noticed a huge, bright rainbow arcing across the sky! Rainbows usually appear in one place in our yard - from the tree silhouette of the distant neighborhood to Technical Difficulties - and this one was in the regular place, BUT it was so big I had to back up to the corner of the street opposite us to fit it in the viewer of my camera!

Then I noticed that not only was it a huge rainbow with the best colors I've ever seen, there was another faint stripe of color under the first! The first double rainbow I've ever seen! Unfortunately the small rainbow had almost faded by the time I could dig out the camera, but the big one was still amazing. Now naturally the photos weren't half as beautiful or magical as the real thing, but you get the picture - the idea. So I must have looked like a complete loon standing in the rain in my pajamas, but it was worth it - it was so, so worth it. Worth this:

(Just to give you an idea of where this was: Technical Difficulties is to the left, the magnolia tree is to the right, and the tiny square in the right bottom corner is  our chimney.)

By the way, this was also the first rainbow I've ever seen that actually had pink, yellow, green, blue, AND purple!

This was the last picture I got of the rainbow, you can see it's starting to disappear.
