Double Rainbow!

 
As we left the house around 7pm the sun was shining but even as I unlocked Lurch I felt the first drops on the back of my neck. I glanced at the sky but could see no cloud. How can it rain without a cloud? I checked again, this time for any of our feathered friends who might have decided to bless me with their 'leavings' to coin a polite phrase. Well, it's better than saying 'shit', after all my mother might read this. Nary a bird in the sky. Applying Sherlock Holmes' deduction method i.e. when all other possibilities have been discounted etc, would have been my next step, but suddenly it started to pour down. At least I was saved the mental effort of deducing what was happening - see, every cloud does have a silver lining.
'But I thought there were no clouds' I hear you say.  'Clever dick.' I reply. Quick fire responses never were my forte.

Arriving at one of our local dog walking spots, on the site of a once massive steelworks, the rain was now belting down and bouncing up almost to the level of my wife's knees. I'm a bit taller than Amy, so it only reached my ankles.  We took Skye for a walk and I threw her Frisbee all over the place, trying to tire her out (seemingly impossible) and in the process we all got drenched.
Then with uncannily good timing, just as we neared the end of the walk the rain stopped abruptly.  Almost immediately we saw a complete rainbow form right in front of us, and then Amy shouted that it was a double rainbow! I've very rarely seen both ends of a rainbow touching the ground, never mind a double. Potentially we could have had four pots of gold but I'm not sure I had the energy to fight four leprechauns! When we walked a short distance further, only one side of the rainbow was visible - so we had definitely been in the right place at the right time!
 

It was well worth getting soaked to see the beautiful rainbow in it's entirety, and from now on I will not be put off going out in the rain, just in case another one comes along.


This is Amy taking the panorama above, it's a great photo.
