Wow, An Even Prettier Rainbow!

I have been trying to take a photograph of the snow on the peaks in the Santa Lucia mountains to the south of me. No luck yet. When I checked the scene this morning I was rewarded with a beautiful sunrise which I've really not just justice to with the collage above. I was keeping tabs on the sky outside, waiting for it to perhaps clear enough to get my snow scene, and it seemed to be lightening up a bit so I went out again and noticed a rainbow forming.

A lot like the rainbow Sunday morning, but perhaps a bit brighter.

A second rainbow started to form....

And then the double rainbow started to arch across the valley....

And it kept going further....

And getting brighter...

And getting even larger....

Until I couldn't photograph the whole thing...

And the whole time it was cold.....

And it was raining, of course. And I'm out there in my sweats and slippers. It was sooo worth standing in the cold rain to behold!
