I got a little wet walking around the old rice field pond and then was treated to a rainbow. I didn’t see the second, fainter rainbow until I was developing the images.
The sun came out, I continued on then another shower, another rainbow. The sun nicely lit the trunk that connects the pond to the Ashly River.

Magnolia Plantation Rice Field Pond, Charleston, SC
From the SC Encyclopedia: scencyclopedia.org/
Rice trunks are wooden sluices installed in “banks” or dikes of rice fields for irrigation or flood control. They are long, narrow, wooden boxes made of thick planks, and each has a door at each end. Hung on uprights, the swinging doors, called gates, may be raised or lowered to drain or flood a field.

Thank you, Liz, glad that you liked it and thanks for the share. I’ve not got into twitter, do you find enough positive going on there to keep you engaged?
Oh yes, I do! There are excellent nature photographers who share photos and video-clips on twitter. It’s also good for keeping up with current events with people sharing articles or video footage I wouldn’t see otherwise e.g. I’ve learned more about the US from Black and Native American perspectives.
That’s interesting about the news and varying perspectives, thanks for your input. I do make an effort to get news from a variety of sources while staying away from the barrage of negativity that seems so pervasive, at least here.
So all I have to do is get wet to make a rainbow appear?
😁 Sometimes it works!
Beautiful rainbows, Ellen. 😊
(P.S. I couldn’t help liking Steve’s comment! 😅)
Thanks, Donna!
Yup, that was pretty funny!
I was pretty happy I didn’t get drenched, a couple miles from the closest shelter and only enough plastic with me for the camera!
