Somewhere over a double rainbow

An abundance of rain recently has made it difficult for those hoping to mow lawns around South Hillsborough but there have been some perks in the form of cooler temperatures and, on Monday evening, a beautiful double rainbow that could be seen looking east from Ruskin. A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that causes a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when sunlight shines through droplets of moisture in the atmosphere. A double rainbow is caused by light reflecting twice inside the droplets of moisture with the second arc having colors in reverse of the first.
