double rainbow from home

February 2, 2014

Yeah!  'Bout time.  Supposedly we had some precipitation on Thursday for a whopping total of 0.05".  I think we get more than that on a decently foggy summer's day.  And before that, the last time it rained was December 7, 2013 with 0.25", which got our butts out for a Fort Ord hike.  Crazy dry winter.  As I write this, it's slowly, but steadily continuing to sprinkle.  Yay!

ps - Our Monterey Bay view is quickly becoming obscured by trees! Compare this picture with one 5 years ago on December 15, 2008 and one 3 years ago on February 19, 2011.

Although we see double rainbows fairly frequently if and when it rains, this was the best photo I've managed to get so far. I like the colorful umbrellas down on the Rec Trail of people turned to watch this natural beauty. If you look closely, my favorite friendly scrub jay is perched on the top of the unidentified pine toward the center of the photo. And, yes, the coast Douglas-fir that I'm featuring in The Tree Year project barely shows itself in the bottom left.

Yep, it's the season for rainbows. The recent rain has been refreshing and it hasn't been too cloudy or windy, yet.

Here's a new category, similarly to sunrises, but now rainbows. We've seen quite a few of them in the past month after all the constant rain. You can barely see the double rainbow in this pic.

This was from the morning when we left for a road trip north to OR. What started out as a casual social/camping trip ended up including a family emergency further north in WA. This is the reason there are so few posts from November to the first half of December.

This was taken the morning after I returned home from visiting a friend going through rough times in SoCal. I will miss her dearly.

This was taken upon returning home after cheering on a few friends who were running the Big Sur Half Marathon down below on the Rec Trail. This goes to show that not every year of the Half Marathon is gorgeously sunny.

This was taken just a few days after our wedding from my husband's old house. I should note, it was an exceptionally rainy spring.
