First rainbow of the year

We had a lovely shower of rain last evening, after a high daytime temperature of 82°!! The wind gusted to over 45 mph, though, so it wasn't a very pleasant day at all. But the rain settled the dust, and the sun came back out before the showers even ended, producing a lovely rainbow. If you look closely, you can see that it was even double.

And yeah... I haven't cleaned the camera yet. I'm a little nervous about the process, actually. I've watched a couple of videos on how to do it, although they were contradictory, so I'm not sure which way is really the best. And I'm not sure where that speck of lint is sitting, so I'm not sure what inside the camera needs cleaning. So I procrastinate. I'm sure once I've done it, it won't be so intimidating the next time, but it's just taking that first step, y'know? Anybody have any tips?

BTW, that 82° is now gone for a while. In fact, I just heard the 's' word mentioned as a possibility in the forecast for next week. Bah.

After the rain

Friday evening we had a brief rain shower, and then the sun came back out. The double rainbow was beautiful. I stayed on the deck under the overhang of the house, because I didn't want to get the camera wet, so I didn't get the entire rainbow. You'll have to use your imagination for the other half. :-)

If you click on the images, you can see them larger. Look carefully and you can even see the individual raindrops still coming down on this next photo.
