There is nothing to recommend these pics as credible photos.
What they represent, however, is quite incredible weather, which displayed
itself as quickly-moody as a two-year-old.
I had just gotten home from bright blue-sky weather in southern Utah, and I was hopeful that
our local weather had turned to a pleasant spring while I was gone.
Not.
A few evening ago, an eeriness set into the atmosphere; skies churned, mixing black and navy blue and violet - having an all-out tantrum.
These trees in our yard, which had not yet even turned a tiny bit green, became illumanted as if from within. There was certainly not any visible sun to do the job:
These are the forming leaves of a big red-leaf maple. Here, the young leaves are less than palm-sized, where they will become the largest of all maple leaves.
NO sun, just an "electric" atmosphere made the leaves look like red-lit bulbs:
It was definitely the kind of mood when someone notes, "There has got to be a rainbow out there somewhere!"
And there it was, right in my normal view:
A double one tried to appear:
Like the last chord on an organ, the "swell pedal" was pushed, and the whole spectrum
blasted forth before suddenly disappearing:

Oh my goodness, that last rainbow shot is glorious! How lucky you were to catch such an intense 'bow, and to have all the spectrum show up like that. I've had several of those "glowing-trees" moments lately---still no recompense for the lack of sun, though.
Wow! These are beautiful! I love the golden bush with the dramatic sky behind it. As usual, your writing is as spectacular as your pictures.
