Something You Don't See Everyday...

We finally got some rain here in the Mtns of far western NC
yesterday, and up popped a rainbow, as the sun was setting.

I grabbed one of my digicameras and clicked away, as it only
lasted about a minute. It turned into a Double Rainbow as it
faded...my mistake was the typical amateur's one of having
left it on Aperture priority, (as I like to shoot long depth of
field shots of our views), and trying to focus the sumbitch
was nearly impossible; focusing on photons that are refracted
and a long, long ways away is not what "focusing" is all about.
I shoulda left the cam on Auto and let the 'puter figure it out.

So, the quality is barely so-so and I'm disappointed in what
could have been some great shots. It is what it is...

The few pre-dindin glasses of '96 Nuits-St-Georges Burgundy
probably didn't contribute to the skill sets, either.

I tossed in a recent sunrise to remind ya'll of what some
mornings look like from our deck here at 5K feet altitude.
Thanks for looking.
