As 2016 Departs

About thirty minutes ago, the sky turned pink outside. It had been gray and rainy all afternoon and I could still hear rain hitting the skylights, but now it was like we were inside a giant, pink, neon light.

I don’t know that I consciously knew what was happening, but I grabbed my camera, an umbrella, and ran outside. (This is why I keep a cocked and ready camera sitting near the door.)

Unlike yesterday, this starts to approach being a “Noah on Mt. Ararat” class rainbow. With a little teasing while combining the five images in PhotoShop, you can see part of the outside arc of the double section in the upper right corner.

More on 2016 later…
