  Let It Rain… I drove home this afternoon in a downpour of the type that slows traffic to a crawl and forces us to lean forward from our normal fair weather, slouchy driving to grip the steering wheel a little tighter. There was a lot of water on the roads and as I pulled into my driveway, I had already decided to skip the gym tonight. About an hour later, I noticed that the rain had stopped and my own guilty conscience – which was absent when I was changing into my jammies an hour earlier - led me to quickly change my clothes again and head to the gym. Let me tell you…I am so thankful that that nagging little voice caused me to go outside when I did.
As I rounded the corner toward the park behind my house, I stopped at an intersection and caught sight of something so beautiful that I immediately made a u-turn and went home to snatch up my camera. Picture this: An intersection. A park directly in front of you. The sun is setting to your right, over the trees in the park. To your left, the rain-soaked sky is a misty blue, and the setting sun is reflecting the most beautiful rainbow, seemingly out of a single fluffy white cloud. Having trouble? Don’t worry. Remember, I said I ran home for the camera. Here is half of the story - the urlLink rainbow .
And one more shot of it just for good measure. In urlLink this one you can see just a whisper of a second rainbow in the background. And then there was the urlLink sunset . These pictures really don’t do the scene any justice. I wish I were a better photographer. Even so, you just had to be there. Oh, and I did eventually make it to the gym - in case you were taking notes…
