We've had rain for five of the past six days. However, last Thursday evening just before sunset the rain began ceasing and the sun shone brightly and we were rewarded with a big beautiful rainbow.Of course I had the wrong lens on the camera and couldn't get a wide shot but there wasn't time to change it.
Rainbows don't wait!

beautiful capture - interesting that the sky is a different colour each side of the rainbow.
we have had lots of rain too - hoping for some sun and rainbows soon
So beautiful. Again our karma. I took a rainbow shot just yesterday as well. But an iPhone doesn't have a choice of lenses. :) Excellent.
You are so right....rainbows DON'T wait. At least you captured it! A beautiful moment in time!
How beautiful!!
Beautiful captures of the rainbow, Carletta! We've had a lot of rain (and storms) too.
Love a good rainbow! Beautiful!
Beautiful! You are so right, rainbows don't wait. I missed one a few days ago just going inside to grab my camera.
Beautiful--and no they don't wait!
(You need a second camera body...so you can keep one lens on one and the other on the other..)
Beautiful shot of the rainbow! Such a preciously unique thing...
You are so right, rainbows don't wait, they are such a delightful but fragile feature of nature and always worth stopping to appreciate
Pretty rainbow.
Happy sky watching!

The rainbow is magical.
You catch those when you can Carletta. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Wow, I have been longing to see a rainbow. I have been here in the US for 6 years but I haven't seen one lol. Gorgeous shots!
Lovely!!
I like how the rainbow seems to separate the darker side from the lighter side. Your shots are lovely.
Wow beautiful!! Love rainbows and I don't know why we don't have that many here in MI.
SWF
a magical moment when light reflects and creates such natural beauty
Ah - what gorgeous shots! I do love rainbows - they make the rain almost worthwhile...
what a gift! i am looking forward to seeing a rainbow after the weather here improves.
Yup -- you've got to grab those rainbows as soon as they show up -- and you grabbed it beautifully.
Shoot as soon as you see one, rainbows are like that only.
Great captures.
Beautiful rainbow capture, even if you didn't get the entire bow! I like the contrast between the pastels in the sky and rainbow with the darkness of the trees.
Rainbows come in all shapes and sizes and any rainbow is a joy to behold. Yours is so deliciously gentle.
What a marvelous rainbow.
Did you find the pot of Gold???
Beautiful shot!!! I love the pink tinge to the sky...and the framing with the trees/bushes...well done!!!
You have captured the Rainbow beautifully! Great shots... made my day :) You too hv a super duper day ahead...
It's a different feeling whenever i see a rainbow. Symbolizes a new start.
Carletta, that is soooooo beautiful.
Carletta, enjoy your time off. We all deserve a rest from blogging now and then.

I tried to email you but it bounced back with a message saying the account didn't exist. :\
So glad to hear your beautiful little granddaughters are visiting. Thank you for leaving comments, I know the girls are keeping you busy! How are your knees holding up with the extra activity?
Great shots!
I really wanted to comment on the next photo with the waterdrops, but I can't find the commentbox! That photo has so much detail, it's crystal clear, I love it!
Lovely soft colours. Enjoy your break.
