I had the opportunity to spend the Memorial Day weekend in the Tri Cities area, (Kennewick, WA),at our youngest son's baseball tournament. It was a rainy and stormy day the first day, (Friday), of the tournament. Saturday was quite different. Our first game was at a very early hour, game time at 7:50 am with an arrival time for warm ups at 7:00am! It was nice to be there for the National Anthem as the boys on the field lined the 1st and 3rd base lines with their hats off and right hands over their hearts.
As the games were underway, we looked up to the sky which was clearing off for a warm and sunny afternoon, to see the clouds painted with the beautiful colors of the rainbow. I was able to grab my camera and capture this array of colors to share with all of you. I have never seen the clouds painted with color the way they were that day. I have witnessed many gorgeous sunsets, but this was in the middle of the afternoon. I have seen many rainbows, but never seen the clouds show the colors like this.
When I looked up again, I was able to capture the photo below. It was pretty to see in person, but I hope that these photos will allow your mind to picture the sky full of colorful beauty.
The entire baseball complex was a buzz about the colorful array in the sky. Many people tried to photograph the colors, but were unable to get them to appear on their photo. You could only see them with your sunglasses on, so I raced to my gear and quickly put my "sunglasses" on my lens. The results were beautiful!!!
The boys played hard and we all had a great time. I took about 350 photos over the weekend. After many home runs, barbeques, and swimming, we drove home and arrived last night with wonderful memories of a spectacular weekend and fun with our children. I hope you all had as great a holiday weekend as I!!!
