Yesterday's Rainbow Above Donner Lake

What? You don't see it? Look harder, it's there...

Alright, here is a better look at it below. I was on a hike and when I got to a summit where I could see the lake, I noticed the big rainbow! So I took a photo with my phone real quick. Rainbows can disappear quickly. By the time I got my Canon camera out of the bag for the photo above, the rainbow had started to fade. Oh well, it was still a nice shot and very nice to witness.

What am I pointing at? My home! I could see my apartment across Donner Lake and it looked like my new home was at the end of the rainbow. My little pot of gold! I actually love my new home, the location anyway. The size of the pad is very small, but it works for me and I am enjoying being here.

The trail that I was on crosses railroad tracks. Unfortunately, this very long train was stopped on the tracks and was blocking the trail. There was one train cart/car that had a lot of space under it so I quickly ducked under it and crossed the tracks. I'm glad I did, instead of turning around. The rainbow scene was just a little bit past this spot.

It was a long hike, about 8.3 miles. I am participating in a cross-country ski training program and we have scheduled walks and runs six days a week. It's a lot of work but I should be in great shape for winter. Feeling ready to get out on the skis with my camera and capture many more winter wonder land scenes! It's actually supposed to snow a bit this evening, so I may be out there soon rater than later...
