Desert Rainbow

These photos are from a few weeks ago when we had the wonderful desert rains. So rare to get rain in the desert, but even more rare to see a rainbow! The nice part is that there are very few trees or buildings to block the view. The thing I love about this photo is where the rainbow starts (or ends??). See that old trailer and homestead cabin? That's the place we are rebuilding. We bought it about a year ago and have been working on it ever since! If you believe in rainbows and good luck, then this has to be a good sign!!
I can't remember ever seeing a rainbow end to end like this... only just pieces, so this was a real treat!

    It's a double rainbow! Look closely at the second photo. Beautiful!

    I wonder why it's always lighter under the dome of the rainbow?

    Wow! What a fabulous view of the rainbow and to capture it in all its beauty is wonderful! I would imagine the desert flowers will be blooming soon if they aren't already. This really makes me miss the desert.

    That is one perfect rainbow. I like the overall view of your desert retreat as it gives a sense of scale to its location.

    The rainbow is absolutely gorgeous. I would say it is an omen of good luck as far as your homestead is concerned.

    Great picture - I love to whole arc rainbow - I was lucky enough to get some pictures of one last year.

    Sedona and the desert was great - even in the rain!

    That is unusual to see a rainbow in the desert. Hopefully it will bring some wildflowers! Thanks for stopping by.

    That is an absolutely perfect and perfectly stunning rainbow. And that it ends right on your place, that has to be some kind of magical omen.

    Fabulous capture of the rainbow!
    «Louis» tried to get a good shot of one he saw over Palo Alto, but couldn't get set up to get a decent shot of it. The best he could do was this.
