AJ, AZ - Rainbow

We’ve had rain for two days now and, not just a light sprinkle, but a steady rain, not like what Arizona usually has. In the Phoenix area, it averages 7+” of rain a year. This year they’ve had 4+” (and it’s almost the end of the year) now, including the 1-2” that came over the last two days. 10 days to the end of the year, and it’s still 3” low.

However, here’s the rainbow we saw tonight when the sun shone through the clouds for a few minutes. I’ve never seen a full arcing rainbow with a very defined beginning and end. It was still raining where we were and some raindrops got on my camera lens.

In the evening we went next door for a small get together. Our neighbors are from Cedar Rapids and the other couple was from Minnesota. There are lots of Iowans down here in Arizona. Just about everywhere we go, we meet another person from Iowa.
