First Day of Summer Rainbow #SkywatchFriday

On the first sunset of summer, nature presented a gift to us in the Binghamton area of upstate New York.

Spouse had noted the beautiful golden light streaming into our living room window, and made the rare offer of accompanying me to watch the sunset.
But when I turned to the east, the sunset was forgotten for a minute.

Then we started our walk west, looking back towards the rainbow.

We continued our walk...
Past a pair of catalpa trees.

The rainbow stretched across the sky...

And gave a last bow.  It started to disappear shortly after I took this last photo.

What a welcome to summer gift we were given that evening.

Joining up with Yogi and other sky watching bloggers at #SkywatchFriday.

    My son called me outside to see a double rainbow. By the time I got there it was only a single one (glad he got to see the double, though), but a single one is pretty enough, and I'm so glad I got to see it.

    Alana that's so beautiful. We all love rainbows ๐ŸŒˆ and if it's unexpected it sheer ecstasy ๐Ÿ’– everytime it rains I keep moving in & out of the balcony in a hope that maybe there is going to be a rainbow ๐Ÿ˜„
