Luck meets opportunity….while staying in Pacific City Oregon with my Eat&Read Group (an eclectic bunch of women who are world travelers and come from various backgrounds who’ve been meeting for over 20 years), we had the morning pleasure of being graced by Mother Nature at her best.
We were eating breakfast when this view appeared. This rainbow started out slight in color and a sliver over the rock to the left.
I grabbed my camera and with bare feet, ran out to shoot. It continued to brighten as I took photos. Rain was splattering my lens, and I was wearing my "jammies" and getting wet, but didn't care.
As it turned out later, I caught one photo with a bald eagle as a tiny brown spot up towards the top, who looked like he was heading past the rainbow.
For any photographer trying to get a landscape photo in Pacific City Oregon and then having to switch to high motion in the next shot, it's nearly impossible to get something clear and closeup when it isn't planned. One of the women yelled, "there's a bald eagle!" and I turned and shot the dark movement across the blue-gray sky. It wasn't the best, but hey, at least I got it!
To my delight, it became a double rainbow, and arced clear across the sky.
Pacific City Oregon—a great west coast destination, no matter what the weather!
