I had just started into Arches National Park, Utah. The light rain had finally stopped, when I saw the rainbow. Rather than drive to specific arches, with which I was familiar, and were some distance away, I just jumped out, and shot this one. All the while, I was being bitten, on the ankles and legs, but never could concentrate on what was biting me. I later found, that desert sand fleas are very active, after a rain, and crave a warm body. I must be part Sand Flea, as I can relate to that.
