A lot. More than ever. Can you see how heavy the rain is coming down, outside our living room window? I've nearly been killed several times by rogue lightning storms, while innocently walking to work.
But then . . .
. . . the sun came out.
Aaahh......
And so did the peeps.
The peeps thronged to the beach the second the sun came out. Finally. In July..
But then? It rained again. A lot. On Tuesday night, it rained torrentially. And then, since Connecticut is a schizophrenic state, the sun came out.
And so did this guy.
Rainbows are notoriously hard to photograph; everyone knows that. But we've had 2 big fat dramatic double rainbows over New London within one week.

I feel your rain pain, but I didn't get no stinkin' rainbows.
ReplyDeleteGoodness, I was afraid this would be about some dead pet!
ReplyDeleteI really don't remember the weather being this awful when I lived in that place, especially during summer. Whatever happened to global warming, anyway?
Hope it's beautiful this weekend for SailFest!

I hate rain, but seeing a rainbow makes me giddy like a school kid!
ReplyDeleteOr as I like to say; No rain, no rain.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was going to be in OB west this weekend, thinking about you in OB east at Sailfest, but it'll have to wait until next year. Maybe Jacquie can represent.

We've had the same kind of weather. Cool and rainy for days and days and days -- a couple of nice days; then back to cool and rainy. Today is a nice day. It would be nice if it stayed that way for a few weeks now. Summer is short enough already
ReplyDeleteWe were driving home, navigating through the ponds that took over the road when we saw those. It made us both really happy to see that double rainbow! Almost makes up for the fact that the rain knocked off the grape flowers at the vineyard. Almost.
ReplyDeleteMy husband & child came home from a road trip exclaiming over the six double rainbows they'd seen over the Taconic. I was a tiny bit jealous.
ReplyDeleteMA weather has been schizo. Yesterday, we had a "microburst" going on outside the restaurant the best friend and I were at for "lunch," so we hunkered down and drank a bunch of margaritas with the staff. What else is there to do really?
ReplyDeletewe're feeling the same "rain pain" as you and am just tickled with a week of SUNSHINE!!! plus a few sightings of double rainbows.
ReplyDeleteHope the nights start really warming up or my tomatoes and peppers are never gonna get fruitful.
Thanks for sharing the emotion in pictures.
Hi Elle, it is my first time here in your blog and I really enjoyed here very much. It is so nice to be here. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteLove that Atlantic light!
ReplyDeleteBeing a CA girl, the I miss that warm, humid, summer rain.
So refreshing. (Though not so much for weeks on end I'm sure!)
It's been awhile since I last saw a rainbow...
