Lovely.

Lovely and beautiful.. Gorgeous..
Bubbie loves looking at rainbows- he calls them rainboats..

Awesome! In the first picture it looks like a third one is starting to form -- great pics.

zuma, thank you so much. and i dont think they have made a better camera than the k 1000, have they? not yet.

what a treat!

thanks, Zuma. I have never double rainbows before.

Kathy: Thanks

fireeyes: he is so adorable, with his language that he has. That's what I used to get the little ones with: "Oh...so you have your language now, eh?" They would giggle so hard...

Ablonde: That is incredible...I have a huge version that fills my screen and will look for it.

Jane: I've had that confirmed by so many people, but only after my camera was dissed for years!

Beyond beautiful!!!

And sometimes, the cheapie cams get the best shots!! ~nodding~ :)

always loved my Kodak Brownie

Rockin' pictures! Just beautiful.... I had a Pentax K1000 too. I gave it to one of those brothers of mine. He knows who he is. It's gone now. :)

Fabulous! Thanks for sharing.

Tink: Thanks. I put one on my computer screen. Just figured out how to do that. That little cam has a lot of features that the more expensive ones have. It's been a blessing.

wschanz: Kodak knew their cameras, that's for sure. I used to use their 1000 asa, because I HATE flash photos.

j lynne: You know where he lives? Get him.

Kris T Parker: OS had to have these.

look at you, zuma, snapping pics of rainbows like a pro!! very cool. if only it would *rain* down here ...

Lord I miss my K 1000. That thing was built like a tank yet took beautiful pictures.

If you have a polarizing filter and ever see such a sight again, snap a picture with the filter on. If there is a third rainbow created by this particular effect (actually, it would be the fifth rainbow, as nos. 3 and 4 are on the opposite side of the sky around the sun and aren't visible to the naked eye), it would appear as a mostly bluish green band between these two rainbows.

Another way to see a third rainbow is in a "reflection" rainbow, as here:

These are beautiful shots Zuma. Rated for somebody for once having their camera handy when there was something worth photographing.

Femme: It's so weird everywhere now. The oddest thing is that of the hottest cities, there's Arizona, Vegas, then Sacramento. And we're nowhere near a desert.

God's paintbrush! Nothing can compare...thanks, Zuma...

I enjoyed 'em so much from here that I didn't even stop to take a photograph. Glad you did. Nice bows.

Awe-inspiring! Rainbows are a religious experience. Thanks for sharing, Zuma!

Beautiful Zuma! Some good shootin' there! :)

Wow, two pots of gold! A beautiful phenomenon.

thank you! Isn't it great to have someone to share these little phenomena with?

Beautiful! A fantastic display of God's majesty! And the colors are reversed in them, so pretty!

Shazam! What does this portend? Good things, me thinks. R.

I can almost taste them. Nicely done. :-D

So beautiful! Thanks for posting these!

Oh my. I crashed for a while. I'm glad that you got to see these.

Leandra: Thanks for the tip. We've already had a very uncharacteristic anvil cloud here, now this. I'm going to break out the pentax. It has a polarizing filter.

If you don't have a polarized filter handy, you can cheat and shoot through a pair of polarized sunglasses. Just make sure the lenses are free of dust.

Oooh Bill. I have those. Too cool...ooops. They're prescription and I'm blind as a bat. Shoot.

We are going to have some wild skies this Winter, and they're right outside the door here, so the camera is always ready.
