Rainbow Over the Big Saguaro

There has been the possibility of rainfall most of the day, but I’m glad it waited until late afternoon. The sun, getting ready to set in the west, was not obscured by clouds and shone brightly toward the rainfall to the east of us making bright rainbows visible.

It rained hard here for a while before the clouds moved off to the east where it continued to rain. The desert always needs rain, so we’re thankful for this little storm.

The rainbows varied in intensity and were double bows occasionally. I stepped outside the courtyard gate and captured this nice shot of a full arc over our big saguaro out front. Click on the image to enlarge.
