Afternoon rain shower in Monument Valley

This was the afternoon of Monday May 6th. When outside the camper, I saw a bolt of lightning in Monument Vally, about a mile away. I told Sam to jump into the truck, I want to try to get a lightning bolt hitting the top of one of the huge spires. as we left, we noticed the storm had subsided but I thought I may as well get some pics of "things" and stuff and mosey on over to the valley. When we got into the Valley, the lightning had stopped and it was just sprinkling rain. I was disappointed ... UNTIL ... I saw a huge rainbow develop the entire width of the valley! I can't remember ever see both ends of a rainbow at the same time (being a country boy growing up in a state of trees. We chased the rainbow to try to get the "best" angle. At times we just simply stood in awe of the beauty of the valley as the storm ran it's course and the skies cleared. amazing! My pics don't even start to come close to capturing the magnificence of the couple of hours we were treated to.
