Rainbows over Santa Fe

It was a rainy day which turned out just fine because tomorrow is moving day and we needed to get some things done, not go out a play on the trail! So it was laundry this morning and, after going to the grocery store, making soup, two batches, and baking a loaf of walnut bread.

On the way back and forth to the laundry room we passed theses flowers. Earlier in the day all the blossoms were wide open, but when it clouded over they kind-of went into hiding.

The sky is so "big" here that it can be storming rain in one part of the sky and...

(that's the Airstream on the left edge of the picture)

  the sun can be shining in another part - a recipe for a rainbow!

We can't remember ever seeing such a vibrant rainbow. We had just returned from the grocery store and it was about 4 pm.

(there's the Benz in the bottom left corner)

Then, about 7 pm, we noticed another rainbow in a different part of the sky.
