It was suppose to rain this morning, so I desided to sleep in for a change. However, my wife desided to get up at 5:00 AM (which doesn't happen very often), and she woke me up think it would be good to go get a shot of some lighthouses. So I reluctantly got up, thinking it was going to be cloudy and rainy. I am sure glad I listened to her. The sky was clear except to the northwest there looked like the were so nice clouds forming over Lake Michigan - so we decided to head north to Little Sable Point Lighthouse to see if the rising sun would light up the clouds. And it did.

This was the view as I was walking towards the lighthouse:

Then as I got over the dune to see Lake Michigan. There was a storm out over the lake heading my way:

Then a Rainbow formed at the norther edge of the rain that was falling under the cloud:

So I got the Sigma wide angle out and managed to get the lighthouse, reflection of the light, Lake Michigan, an incoming storm, and a rainbow all in one shot:

What a great morning, and I managed to get back home in time to eat a nice breakfast. I am sure glad I did not roll over and go back to sleep.
