Chris, you're absolutely right. The reason that moment meant so much wasn't how magestic it looked. It was how my daughter and I were giggling and running around with our heads chopped off , tripping over the kitchen chairs and bumping into each other trying to find the camera to take the picture before the Hulkish rainbow disappeared.

Still, I wish we could have taken a better picture. That rainbow seriously was on steroids. My daughter and I LOVE rainbows. They are a sign of better things to come. You know?

"Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side
Rainbow's are visions
They're only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some chose to
Believe it
But I know they're wrong wait and see

Someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me"

RIP Jim Henson

Here's another rainbow picture. I took this one while sitting on my front patio watching the boys play football on the street. I looked up and saw it and RAN inside to grab my camera. It was soooooo big! And beautiful! I need a better camera or something because these pictures do NOT do it justice!

Wow! Pretty cool Twinkster. Rainbows....I have completely forgotten about their majestic, mysterious beauty. Thanks for reminding me to take a moment from this hellish rat race of a life, and observe awsome creations of the universe.

That's a very cool pic!! I love rainbows, and being a teen in the 80's, I had rainbow everything! Including the 3/4 length shirt, with the rainbow from one sleeve, across the chest and to the other sleeve. hehe

Hey Kindra, I had that Kermit the Frog song stuck in my head for most of the afternoon, while cleaning the kitchen and getting dinner started, LOL!!  I LOVED the Muppets!!

KIndra, so did I. But it made me tear up. We lost a great one when we lost Jim Henson!

"It's not easy being green" hehhe

That's great that you got to share such a wonderful scene of nature with your daughter. Memories, like the corners of my mind...  oh never mind! LOL   I agree with what everyone has said about sometimes things in nature are just too beautiful to be captured on film. Another one is snow! Sometimes it is just so incredibly beautiful with all it's sparkle like tiny diamonds. But go to try to photograph it and you'll fail every time! At least I do. Thanks for sharing. 

I have a few more rainbows up my sleeve, curtesy of my friend Nancy (can you tell we LOVE rainbows?)

And on the FLIP side of that. ... my friend Rita shared some snow pictures with me that are just BREATHTAKING! This one is a view from her bedroom window. And it's virgin snow! She titled it:

And this one she titled it

HummingBird's Red in Winter's White

HWY 101 South of Gilroy - my OZ took it during our roadtrip.

Beautiful, Kindra, thanks for sharing it!

Gilroy.... hu? yummmmm garlic! And home to one of my favorite Chicano authors, Nina Marie Martinez

Her book Caramba, a Tale Told In The Turn Of The Cards made me laugh, cry, and feel nostalgic. Great book! Highly recommend it!
