At about sunrise, the Runner was outside the LabMobile making coffee. At one instant, the sun found a slot in the seemingly endless cloud cover and shined through. A clear and gorgeous rainbow appeared to the west.
He called to me to hurry and see the rainbow. It was a full rainbow but I didn't have a super wide angle lens on my camera. I captured about half of it but the whole arc is seared into my memory.
That was a far better start to the day than I'd expected. However, soon thereafter, the rain started pounding on the roof again. My mood soured and then went further south when my phone rang to tell me that someone was trying to use my credit card hundreds of miles away. Argh.
I thought that we wouldn't see the sun again that day. Fortunately, I was wrong! As soon as it burned through the clouds, Shyla and I were out of the LabMobile preparing for a ride.
The rock world was covered in water. I enjoyed the reflections, as you can see!
Aww what some beautiful pictures!And I love your dog!!You are so lucky beeing in that Rock world!Myh ohh myh I wish i could be there!think of all that history:))
ReplyDeleteVery unlucky someone tried to use your credit card..I really hope your bank fixed it..
Here in Norway we finalyy got some spring!
Wish you and family and cute doggie a nice day!
Rainbows are always a gift, especially in the desert.
ReplyDeleteThe rainbow is so very beautiful! Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteGlad that the sun and wet rock reflections scoured away that mood. Rain pounding on the roof is a glorious sound to us desert rats, unless we need to be out and about in it!

ReplyDeleteI know we sometimes wish it was bright and warm and sunny ever day... but golly, it is so lovely to see the variety of possibilities in our climate! YAM xx
Oh my goodness - how glorious! What a treat! We are seeing a double rainbow, KB!
ReplyDeletethat rainbow is magnificent, good thing he was outside to call you, we would have all missed it.
ReplyDeleteI know just what you mean, though sometimes being in a camper with the rain pounding on the roof can feel cozy too (though I'd still rather be outdoors). I really need some sunshine to lift my spirits these days, but it's been in very short supply around here lately! Hopefully by the weekend, fingers crossed!

Wow what an absolutely stunning, once in a life time shot in photo #1. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteI hope your credit card wasn't compromised to badly.
Hugs madi and mom
Rain, a beautiful rainbow, but coffee, that word is wonderful. I had not imagined huge rain puddles there, and such clean water with no pollution, what a bonus.
ReplyDeleteYikes on someone trying to use your credit card. Glad you stopped that.
ReplyDeleteYes the sun can change ones mood is a millisecond. I love the sunshine.
Have a fabulous Thankful Thursday. ♥
I love seeing the rainbow on the rock. I've never seen something like that before.
ReplyDeleteThat rainbow is stunning! Your photos are always so amazing - you even make puddles look good. :). Love the reflections.

The beautiful rainbow and the simple puddle are both fantastic
ReplyDeleteThe period right after a rain can definitely lift the spirits when everything is clean and fresh.
