Home again and a double rainbow

We are home again after spending four nights at our friends’ house in Yallingup, south-west Western Australia. The house is quite close to the coast so was quite a bit cooler; a welcome respite after the rather hot weather we’ve been experiencing over the Christmas period. Yesterday, we even had showers and the most incredible double rainbow. I couldn’t capture the complete rainbow although we could see it arching right across the sky. I think Vince has a panoramic photo of it which I’ll try to put up one day. I have a lot of notifications and posts to read so I’ll you in the comments/ responses/posts. Tomorrow morning early we’re off to the beach to take photos of people swimming their horses. I hope you had an enjoyable start to the New Year and thanks to everyone who supports my discussions. I really enjoy chatting to you all.

Gee that was one nice vacation you had, 4 days in a friend's house. I wish we have a friend like that who would invite us for a short vacation.

There were 9 of us in a very nice house. We are very lucky to have the friends we do.

Double rainbow feels so great. Also rains bring good respite from the extreme heat. I was reading about the massive damage caused by bushfires. A Tennis event in Canberra too has been cancelled and so too have been some other events.

@JudyEv Let us hope that the rains would douse the fires.

It is really starting to have an effect even where there are no fires.

I rarely see rainbows here but I've seen a few doubles and got pictures of them but I don't know which disc they are on @JudyEv

@rebelann You'll have to get busy one day and search for them. I wonder what else you'll turn up.

When our son got married in Ireland, they had a double rainbow behind them in one of the photos.

I'm still in Maui and will be heading back to Oregon the night of the 6th. I'm glad you had a great time and some cool reprieve. Here is our double rainbow from New Years Day. That's one of my granddaughters kicking up.

@JudyEv I’m sure you can dig one rainbow and Vince the other.
