Double Rainbow

We were sitting in the living room around five p.m. yesterday when DH happened to look out a window behind us and saw this amazing double rainbow. I ran for my camera, he got the umbrella and followed me, holding said umbrella over my head... View out the window from inside the house... The "shooting stars" are really rain drops hitting my camera... It was too wide for me to get a picture of it end to end...the colors were bright and beautiful...
A lovely sight at the end of a pleasant weekend.

    WOW. This is awesome. we get these a lot here but its hard to capture them. You got some great shots. I like the one close up of the rainbow thru the window. Good team effort there. :))

    Very good photo shots. I have a couple like this that I took in England before we left for Crete.

    Nice! I've been seeing a lot of these this year (and late December 2008). I especially like the one with the 'stars'.

    Lizzi, the felting machine does just that, it felts materials into one another. Your mushrooms are wonderful btw...I am interested in felting wool rovings and other fabrics onto felt etc. for use in my quilt work.
    My machine is a BabyLock...got it on a good sale as a new improved version was coming out and they wanted to get rid of the older model.
    Lucky me. I haven't worked on it much yet, but will. A new fun toy!
