It was about 20 minutes before sunset when I heard the rain on the roof next door. "It's raining," I said, clicking away on the keyboard.
The Husband shifted in his seat behind me. "The sun is out," he said. "There must be a rainbow somewhere."
The vertical blinds rustled. "It's right outside!"
"Everyone's getting their camera. Click, click," I said as I crossed the room, thinking about the growing number of people suddenly sharing their photos of our town on a couple of local Facebook groups. I peeked through the slats. "I'm getting my camera."
The Husband followed me down the stairs and out the door. We were greeted by a brilliant rainbow.
"Look, look! Another rainbow!" I said, clicking away.
Two rainbows. A gentle rain. The sun setting. What more could we ask for?
Some clouds cleared beneath the rainbow. "The moon!"

ReplyDeleteThey're so rare in our neck of the woods these days that I'll run outdoors to see one anytime.

Thank you, Carol.
DeleteSome instances of beauty are so perfect - and you managed to capture one of them!
ReplyDeleteI took a couple shots of the second rainbow but it came out too washed out. Oh well. I got to see it though. Good enough for me. :-)
DeleteI like rainbows - who doesn't - and I'm happy we live on a hill and having some rooms with a view to the valley, where we had a lot of rainbows last summer. So nice! I like your picture a lot, the tree is also great!
ReplyDeleteCool, Miss Red Fox!
DeleteWow, what a moment. I love the way you captured it....how the rainbow arches over the flowering tree. Such pretty colors!
