the shadow proves the sunshine

A powerful rainstorm rocked St. Louis today, bringing on round two of local flash flooding and causing the Cardinals' season opener to be canceled after a few short innings. (Lame, since they were winning and Pujols 5 had already gone yard...) But we love spring storms because of their inherent beauty and the positive after-effects (i.e. green grass in our fledgling yard--we hope). I was working on some other photos in the living room while Beck was at school when the unmistakable rainbow glow burst through the kitchen window. You should have seen it. These pictures won't do the eerie sky justice.
