We had a sudden storm and the sun came out. I said to Jim, "Darn, there's going to be a rainbow on the east side and I know I won't get there in time." About 10 minutes later, our friend Larry, sent me the original of this image asking what was happening on our side of the island (answer: just rain, but the sun is out). I imported his iPhone image to Lightroom, did some cropping and adjustments of HIS photo, and liked it so much I asked if I could post it tonight. With his permission, here is his photo, my edits - a collaborative project. Thanks, Larry!
@helenhall Rainbows follow a pattern. When there is an outburst of rain but the clouds clear quickly and the sun is shining, in the exact opposite direction you are likely to have a rainbow. So, our friends live on the east side of the island at just about the same line as our place is on the west. There was no guarantee of a rainbow in front of them, but the conditions were perfect from what we could see to the west. As Larry said, even if I'd hopped in the car and drive across, in the 15 minutes it would take me to get to the other side, it would have already been gone.
