Double Rainbow!

This was the view (The first 2 pics) that greeted us from our balcony when we arrived home from my boy's school last Friday evening.  My camera did not do the pictures justice as it looked exactly like the picture sourced above. The downpour that started when I was about to go out to fetch my boy had now reduced to drizzles with a bright and double rainbow showing its appearance, O, yes, a DOUBLE rainbow!  

I was so absorbed with the view that I forgot to grab my camera until my boy reminded me.  My boy was so excited and again, the Whys questions came flooding me.  This mommy was like Awww.. sorry, boy.. mommy must go do some googling first. *paiseh*

Ok, done.. So, boy, here it goes...
