I'm off to Fairview, West Virginia today, a small town near the WV-Pennsylvania line, to tell stories at the library and the elementary school. It's always a pleasure to visit this town, and to soak up the atmosphere of history in a mining community that has known much history, some good and some tragic.Last Friday when we returned home (and boy do I have photos and stories to tell you about that trip!) a thunderstorm blew in and just as quickly left. The sun peeped through the raindrops so I knew there would be a rainbow. I hurried up to the top of the ridge and took photos. Here is one; I'll share more when I return this evening.
See you tonight!
Love your double rainbow. You need to get "frequent driver miles!" :)
ReplyDeleteI was just in Fairview myself this weekend. There is a cool story there concerning the Highland Witch - a local "witch" who is buried in the local Highland cemetery.
ReplyDeleteI love those photos, but the double rainbow, WOW!! What a wonderful picture.
ReplyDeleteAfter Jason's comment, I'm dying to hear some Fairview stories! The town name is ringing the proverbial bell but I can't remember why.
Look at those gorgeous colours! The pictures are lovely.
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the event and let us know how it goes.

Hey Granny Sue!
ReplyDeleteSome where over the rainbow! The scenery of West Virginia this time of year is just beautiful! Love it!
Awesome pictures, Sue. tm
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Nothing better than a thunder storm! Good pics.
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI thought I was only going to post one, but Blogger was putting them up so fast I did several--and then forgot to change my comments to reflect that! The price of hurrying too much.
ReplyDeleteThe light was amazing that evening and I could not take enough pitures. I ended up with 42 good ones. I was very tired at that point but when I got up on the hill I was so energized and amazed by the light, color and sky--clouds and stormy rain in one direction, brilliant sun in the other, mist in another--that I could not get enough. It was a natural high that lasted me for the rest of the evening.
