The Promise

After The Storm

We had quite a storm here today. Not as bad as predicted but heavy winds and rain. It didn't last long though and I had no damage here from it.
I was getting supper and glanced out the front window and it looked like the trees across the road were on fire.
I went outside with my camera and the sun had come out and was setting and the trees to the east were the most brilliant oranges and reds.



Just breathtaking!


Then I saw it. The most perfect rainbow.


It stretched in an uninterrupted arch across the sky.


And when I looked through my viewfinder again, it had turned into a double rainbow.
I stood there in the rain until it was gone.
God puts on amazing shows.

Have a great Wednesday everyone. It's babysitting day for me!

  1. The double rainbow is glorious. We have a lot in common as I am a retired RN and we have a very old house also. Isn't retirement great? hugs♥olive

  3. Wow! Very cool photos! Storms can be so amazing and frightening at the same time. We have some storms in our area tonight, but hopefully they will pass just to the north of us. Thanks for stopping by my blog!

  10. Beautiful photos. I wonder if we saw the same rainbow in the sky - I took my photo about 6:30 last night. I don't think mine was a double one though - I'll have to go back and check.
