Double Rainbow Yesterday at Sunset

Was out waiting on the sunset yesterday after a small rain shower. To my surprise there was a double rainbow in the sky. Rainbows are so magical. And they are often difficult to photograph. I captured what I could with my iPhone camera. They do not last long either. I was so excited to see it was a double rainbow. Maybe it will bring us all a little luck. Nature is so amazing.

That's a lovely shot, very pretty! As you said, they never last very long. When Jay tried to get a photo, it was almost gone when he found a place to park.

@CarolDM I know what you mean, Jay's photo didn't even show much color!

They are so magical!, but tough to capture. On our first trip to Hawaii, we had two rainbows. One in the east and one in the west at the same time.

@CarolDM We get them after almost every rainfall in Florida. Won't be seeing those this year.

Rainbows are so beautiful and I'm glad you were able to catch it. I wish phone cameras would pick them up better but your picture looks good.

They are difficult to photograph, and the colours seem to change depending on your angle that you are viewing the rainbow at. You did a great job, this is a lovely photo. What a nice way to end the day yesterday.

Yes they seem to disappear too quickly. The sun was shine as it was right at sunset. Thank you.

It sure is. For double & triple, you just got to be in the right place at the right time! You were lucky to see them, but don't know about it bringing luck. I'll check and be back.
