The wife and I left Rist Camp Sunday evening, during a heavy rain storm, for a drive for dinner at Blue Mountain Lake. About 2 miles outside of Long Lake in a light rain the sky cleared along the horizon. A mile or so later we came upon the scene of the top picture in this entry.

The rainbow was rather faint but as we continued on toward Blue Mountain Lake, it became quite vivid with a faint double rainbow. I stopped along the road at various locations to make a few pictures of the rainbow. Arriving at Blue Mountain Lake, the clouds had turned crimson red against a vivid blue sky.

The drive was a wonderful visual appetizer / treat which set the tone for equally enjoyable dinner.
