Skywatch Friday - Double Rainbow

Happy Friday friends! For a change I don't have work today, so I have time to post a Skywatch. It's a cool and cloudy Friday morning with a storm blowing in. I love that feeling of the calm before the gathering storm, cool breezes (it's a California storm, just cool, not cold, yet . . .), and knowing that I don't have to go out and battle the elements helps too :)


Driving home from a recent road trip we spotted so many people out and about with their cameras pointed at the sky. Had the aliens finally arrived? Nope, I couldn't see any flying saucers up there. Flocks of amazing birds, incredible aircraft? Nope, no extra wildlife or experimental planes up there. Arriving home and stepping out of the car I could finally see what all the fuss was about - wow, double rainbows! The clearest and strongest double rainbows I have ever seen. My little point and shoot camera did it's best to catch the rainbow action :)


To see what other SkyWatchers view when they look up and out, visit the SkyWatch Blog.

Wishing you a double rainbow kind of day.

I find all rainbows enchanting and double rainbows doubly so.

I like the line under your heading. My daughter's blog is called 'not all those who wander are lost'. She too is an artist.

Hi there - I'm thinking of getting a bumper sticker with "I brake for Rainbows!"

Nice pictures.
