A Morning Rainbow! Even a double! I grabbed my camera and ran to the front porch of the house just in time to catch this! First one I've seen here as they are usually in the back from the setting sun. Near Berkeley Springs, WV.

Unusual for me to even catch a sunset this time of year. Look at the last photo. The sun actually sets farther apart than this from Summer to Winter here! Glad I got this one from my front porch south of Berkeley Springs, WV.
