Bowman's Beach is a dog friendly (on-leash) beach on Sanibel Island, and one of its best beaches of any kind. I took a timeout from swimming and running with Kiki to photograph a complete rainbow that had formed to the east. We had to drive through a powerful thunderstorm and wait out the remnants of it while eating onion rings undercover before it was even safe, never mind dry, enough to head out onto the beach. Storms always seem to leave good things behind, like this rainbow. I did not even notice it was a double rainbow with my naked eye. Only once I brought out some detail in Aperture 3 did I see the upper bow.

We ran far up the shoreline (see photo above) into the sunset, then swam and jogged our way back. It was one of the most pleasant experiences in recent memory.

This island would be a perfect place for a beach wedding. Anyway, you've got awesome photos Jason! I love your wedding shots!
Thank you Samatha....Sanibel is 2.5 hours away from where I am based so I have not done any weddings there, but we have similar beaches here in the St. Petersburg area.
