The rain here in Southeast Indiana has been brutal but luckily we have had no real damaging storms. I snapped a couple pictures after work last night. The redwing blackbirds seem to live quite peacefully with my martins.

Beautiful picture! You don't normally see such clarity in a rainbow. (unless you are just an awesome photographer) Thats probably it. :grin:
If it looks that good in a photo, it must have been breath taking in person!

That is an outstanding, awesome picture of a rainbow!! We haven't had rain in so long, I'm not sure I'd recognize a rainbow if it dropped a pot gold in my yard :)
