Pouring rain to rainbow - Skywatch Friday


The resident neighborhood osprey sitting on my neighbor's dock in the pouring rain.


He usually sits on the sailboat mast but I guess he got tired of it rocking in the rain.


Now it's just a sprinkle and the sun was starting to come out. I got to thinking. If the sun's out on this side of the house and it's still raining on the other side, I should check to see if there's a rainbow somewhere.

I opened my front door and saw this. I grabbed my camera and took this and the one below in my driveway.

  2. The poor osprey looks like he's having a bad hair day, but at least he's standing on something sturdy.
    Your rainbow shots are gorgeous! In your driveway, how wonderful.

  5. Nice rainbow! That osprey is so pathetic looking. I wonder why it choose to sit in the rain, rather than seeking cover.

  6. The osprey looks like a commanding presence, rain notwithstanding. Between that and the rainbow, it certainly looked like a day of wonderful surprises:)
