Disappearing Rainbow #SkywatchFriday

On Wednesday I left work early.  I heard a crafts store was suddenly going out of business, and I was making an afghan with yarn only they sell.  I didn't want to wait until Black Friday, today in the United States.

On my way out of the store, my spouse motioned to me "Look!  A double rainbow!"

Sure enough.  The base was one of the thickest I had ever seen.  To its right, faintly, you can see the double.

We stared at it.....

And stared.

Then it started to disappear.  I shifted my position a little as it disappeared....

And was replaced, in a different direction, with a lovely cloud shot.


I have so much to be grateful for - being in the right place at the right time, with an iPhone, a husband who sees these things before I do, and being able to get off of work a little early that day.

Joining Yogi and other sky watching bloggers at #SkywatchFriday.  What are you grateful for today?

    Did you get your yarn?

    1. It was the same company (a store brand of a chain called A.C. Moore) and type, but they didn't have the exact variegated yarn color I was using. I got something close, and I don't think it will matter in the long run.

    1. A.C. Moore is the chain, and I got something close (see my response to Songbird). I should post pictures of my WIP (work in progress), which, knowing me, won't get done for another year.

  3. I love how the sky is so dynamic with a different look every few minutes. The fleeting double rainbow was a real treat, and glad you were able to photograph it!

    1. I've seen several over the years, but this was definitely the best I was able to capture it.

  6. I remember seeing how the whole double rainbow thing works. Cool to see one in actuality. (I think I've seen A.C. Moore yarn online, so you'll be able to pick more up if needed.)

    1. I'll have to look, because AC Moore's website itself has halted online sales. My guess is, after today they will start their going out of business sale. We'll see.
