I had planned to drive out to photograph the sunset, but a small thunder front moved in and had me stay at home. The weather was very local though, a raincloud above my house but clear skies in front. This created the unusual phenomenon of a rainbow on blue sky, so I hurried around with the camera to find an angle where there wouldn’t be a streetlight or a chimney sticking out at the bottom of the frame.
When the raincloud had passed, I gave up my plan A and went for the nettle-leaved bellflowers instead. I’ve missed them in their bloom every year so far, but this summer I was determined to catch them and I knew they had just started to open. I figured it’s easier to catch a sunset than this nettle-leaved-bellflowers-after-the-rain-in-evening-light opportunity, so I had to make the most of it!
