I live about a block from my church so when I received a phone call - there's a double rainbow - I managed to capture these images. With the wet summer we have been having (nearly an inch of rain in the last three days) this was a welcome surprise.

It is rare that we have thunder and lightning over Whidbey Island, perhaps every few years. When I heard the loud rumble, I grabbed my camera and stationed myself at a window. I focused manually for distance, set the shutter speed for eight seconds, then hand held the camera and waited. Out of some 50 shots, I caught the lightning twice.
I am sure the purple color cast is an odd white balance - but I like it!

Farmers have a spectacular view on Whidbey Island. I would have a hard time keeping my rows straight!
This is what it's like, walking your dog on Whidbey Island. This stroll along the beach at Ebey's Landing offers great views of the Olympic Mountains.
