Day's End: Memorial Day Rainbow Over Pensacola Bay

(banner drop)

It was a wonderful and rainy day
Not too hot and not too cold
Not good for digital cameras
There was a rainbow
There were two rainbows
Then none

This is actually two photos stitched into one panorama. I took them on the back porch of the Crab Trap and kept wiping off the slanting raindrops but they were very persistent. You can see the results on the table top in my Fuel posting.

It's hard to see but the second rainbow is to the right of the first. A man at the table next to us told us that once, when he was in Maine, he saw five rainbows at the same time.

  3. Great shot...raindrops and all. Coincidentally, I posted what looks like the same rainbow (;-)) on Florida Fotos today...a shot I took in Weston last weekend.

  4. Fantastic! Is there another Crab Trap in the Pensacola area besides the one at Perdido Key?

  5. Jill, are you going to see the Spanish tall ship? I've seen it from the 3 Mile Bridge and it looks very elegant.

    RR, I also left you a post on your blog, but yes, there is a new CT in Pensacola off of Main St on Pensacola Bay. You know how much I like the one in Perdido Key so I was very happy to see this new one which is so much closer to us.

  7. Oh wow, the panorama is gorgeous and I think the rain drops add to the atmosphere. And two rainbows is something I've only seen a few times in my Life.
    Beautiful!!

  10. That top photo is all things lovely, and the raindrops give it a heightened sense of reality.

  11. Beautiful shots, and how lucky you are to see 2 rainbows at the same time! I've never seen more than 1 rainbow at a time..
