    Good Morning Dawnie... GREAT photos and beautiful rainbow! You're in a great place for taking pictures... I especially love the last picture because it looks like the cactus is praising the sun. Have a great day & travel safe!

    Girl, you do find the BEST rainbows! If anyone ever finds that pot of gold at the end of it, surely it will be you and Jeff!

    Love the rainbows, a double gift indeed, with a golden sunset at the end. I like the new capsite with a spectacular view.
