After having spend a bit of the afternoon capturing my butterfly shots we were treated to this sun shower! It was beautiful until the winds picked up and started blowing the rain parallel to the ground! I know there was a rainbow out there somewhere but.....

Beautiful, Mary! The first time I saw it rain
when the sun was shining, one of my Mom's
friends told me "Sunshowers are good luck!"
and I liked that so much, I still think of it
every time I see one! Lucky you! It got you a
new Blue, so ...see, it's true!:-)

Thank you Leslie and Tresa!
I was so busy in the front yard capturing this scene that by the time I got around to the back yard to find the rainbow the winds picked up and it poured. Never got to find it but I am sure it was there!
