Our skies have been varied this spring with storms often blowing past, though not as ferocious as the ones across the southern US. Tuesday afternoon, the sun popped out and I went out to get shots of the clearing sky. As I took the above shot a gentle rain began to fall and I was pleased to get a faint rainbow. The next shot was taken of the rain with "sports" setting and the third with "auto" (click to enlarge). The last two shots were taken Wednesday afternoon about 2 hours apart.
I joined the Header Challenge team in November. We post a new header each week on a suggested theme. Imac is the founder and head of the team. The members vote for best header and the winner gets the gold. The links above will take you to the other participants.

There is variety here and I like the rainbow shot. Always fills me with wonder.
Wonderful series of shots, Lew! The first one is my favorite. I love rainbows. Have a great weekend and happy skywatching.
I have heard parts of the US has had some bad times weather-wise, but this looked very peaceful and inviting.
