Rainbow in Arizona



This is a picture of a double rainbow. I saw it driving home yesterday. We just hit I-40 going west and this was on our left. Everyone, but me, were asleep, so they didn't see it. The colors were just out of this world.

THANKS

THANK YOU CAROL.
THANK YOU MOM.
THANK YOU ALL.

WHAT A GREAT TIME IT WAS!
