After the rain


Skywatch Friday my Favorite meme. This week we see the sun shining on the flooded River Thames at Wallingford

Thursday morning I was at a construction site and saw this Rainbow

 In the afternoon I saw another rainbow which was a complete double one unfortunately this was all I could get while stopped in traffic.

Your not wrong there

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Thank you Laura

All that beautiful water Bill ... can you send some down my way. Skywatch is also one of my favourite memes .... a wonderful platform to view and share sky captures from all corners of our world in varying moods and seasons.

Beautiful sky reflection in first picture. Love it!

You take some wonderful photos Bill, though you are probably hoping the flooding will go away soon. I hope so too. Take good care of yourself and happy weekend to you.

Dana said...

Gorgeous—especially the first pic! I love the sunlight in the clouds. :)

Beautiful shots! While you have rain, we have drought and wildfires in CA!

The swelling Thames is in stark contrast to our lack of rain.

Nice rainbow shots. I hope your rain is done now for a long time. Too bad you can't send it all over here!

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Where else would you see places you never heard of or seen before. Feel free to bring a bucket over for some water

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Must admit it liked it as well

Billy Blue Eyes said...

You got it, trouble is we had more rain last night and more on the way. Hope you have a good one as well

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Thanks Dana hope it brightens you weekend up

Billy Blue Eyes said...

I think we could do with a little less rain now

Billy Blue Eyes said...

So do I and I really wish I'd had time to stop and get my DSLR out of the boot (trunk) of my car to get the second rainbow, it was a beaut

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Now you guys are beginning to make me feel guilty for showing them. We would gladly trade it for a bit of sun right now

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Afraid it's not, I fear the Thames will be rising again

Beautiful photos!

Unknown said...

Your pics are wonderful Bill, thanks for swinging by my space earlier. Sending you wishes for a little warmth and dry air and hoping we get a little of your rain. Here is CA it is bone dry, warm and already fire season...several months early due to the drought.

I always think one is so fortunate to see a double rainbow. Haven't seen one in years. I like your top photo. That's a gorgeous composition.

We get fires from time to time as well but not as bad as you guys, hope you get rain we are fed up with it

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Vous avez raison il semble toujours belle après la pluie souhaite juste que nous avons eu un peu moins

Billy Blue Eyes said...

I don't see them that often but it's awesome when you do
