Today was just one of those early summer days that was almost perfect, The temperature was around 80 all day and there was little to know breeze at all, then around 7 pm it started to storm, the rain was out of the east which was sort of strange, also there were small pieces of hail in it, the sky never really got dark like it does in most thunderstorms and then the next thing I see is the biggest most perfect rainbow ever, so I grabbed the camera and snapped some shots.  These photos were taken standing on the front porch looking straight ahead,  The arch was just perfect and the sky above the rainbow was light and bellow was dark which I have never seen as well, everything about it was so well defined. It lasted around 30 minutes and then the sky was blue and the wind was gone, just like that.
