As I was driving across the Skagit Valley I took this pic looking east, lots of storm clouds. I then turned west and took this pic through my windshield. I saw a few sunbreaks through the rain and when the sun did come out I turned back to the east just knowing there had to be a rainbow---and there sure was.
1. I took this looking east at 5:12
2. west at 5:20
3. rainbow at 5:23
The rainbows (double) lasted about 5 minutes. It actually was the second one I saw today. An earlier one in town at about 3:20

Just beautiful the two last ones!
beautiful rainbow, one of the good things about rain. we have had a few days of rain, but I dont think enough to help the crops, its a little late.
I like your weather shots, MB. AND I'm jealous of your rainbows. I've been looking for a rainbow all summer. We've gotten the rain but no rainbows!
That dark sky sure looked ominous - how great to turn around and see 2 rainbows! Great photos!!
Ahhh!!!!! The last two are MAGIC!!!!
(regarding your comment on the post of Francisco Lobato, I've just edited it and added, on the 2md photo, «"The grin of a Winner", as MB from [Small City Scenes] so well described it!!!»
I think you caught the Skagit perfectly! This is how I normally envision it.
As soon as I saw the first one I knew it was the Skagit Valley! Wonderful shots of dramatic weather. Looks more like tulip time than August.
I love the rainbow shot! It looks as if it shielded the barn...love the roof's color too!
I enjoy skywatch and so do I enjoy your photos too! =)
Thanks for sharing, Iam visiting from ViennaDaily...Happy skywatching!
Wait, you didnt join this for skywatch no? anyway it is still a great sky!!! =D
Proof that every picture tells a story. I like the ending of this story.
Awesome shots MB!! You are the Rainbow Queen.
The storm hasn't really affected where I live, but it has done some damage on the coast, about 50 miles from me.

So that is what it looks like. Rain that is. We are so DRY it is sad, the pond has gone down to a puddle and the fields are BROWN along with our yard. Only the trees have green leaves and now the walnut leaves are falling like rain and it is only August.
It is very sad for TN and us on the hill as we are losing big trees left and right. Almost all the tall oaks are dying. We have also lost a large hickory and the saddest was the biggest persimmon tree where it has fed the wildlife for years. I would really like it to rain here but not what Fl is having. Peace
Wonderful captures!
Well, all the photos are very descriptive.
And they certainly fit your Subject line. ,-)

That third shot is a real winner MB Beautiful shots.
Amazing shots!!!
Love the Skagit Valley, what a beautiful place, and I agree you captured it!
"Louis" loves the rainbow images - and he got a chuckle out of that title! ;-)
You had it all! The rainbow is beautiful.
Wow, great pictures! Thanks for thinking of us and posting the beautiful pics!
Those rainbow photos are fantastic! What beautiful color.
Your rainbows are very much enhanced by the two preceding photos. The light is so striking sfter the grey rain. Very beautiful!
