Well that was unexpected! I had gone by Crocker Park earlier today to check out the chestnut tree and made plans to return before sunset. I arrived with an hour to spare and hung out at the park watching the sky darken. I checked my radar app and saw that a rapidly moving storm was heading our way.

I waited out the rain under the gazebo and quickly adjusted my plan. I put a circular polarizer on the lens and crossed my fingers that the sun would pop out before the rain passed to create a rainbow.  At 7:52pm, a perfect pink rainbow appeared over Marblehead Harbor (already nicely filling in with boats). I composed this image to include the two benches as perfect spots for rainbow watching in Crocker Park.
