Jancourt (and why I need a wider lens)

I went for a drive this afternoon while my DH was watching the football and I found this lovely place called Jancourt. There isn't a town or anything, it's just a rural district. Most of the country side around here is very, very flat, but this area is really hilly. It was so green and the light on the willow trees was lovely, but then to make things perfect this huge rainbow came out. It was actually still raining when I took these so i had to edit out a few rain spots on the lens. I probably missed some too. Sorry there are so many (kinda all the same) but I couldn't decide which I liked the best. As you can see, my 17-85 lens just isn't quite wide enough to get the whole rainbow. I wanted to use the second one as my blog banner, but I have stuffed something up, so no banner til i get my DH to fix it. Have a nice weekend everyone.

Oh beautiful... Just vibrant color and wonderful composition! I find myself wishing for a really wide lens these days, too. I hope you get yours soon. I can't wait to see what you'll do!
