Rainbow In My Backyard!

It has been raining off and on all day long, just like the weather man forecast. Not what I wanted to hear I thought as I sat watching the evening news. Then out of the corner of my eye, a sudden change in the quality of light caught my attention. I turned for a better look and stopped dead in my tracks.

WOW! And it's soooo close!

Ribbons of colour were literally sitting outside my window. A rainbow had come to rest in the backyard of the house across the road, and a second waited further to the south. What a treat - and I'll bet the owners of the home weren't even aware of the gift Mother Nature had given them on loan. For them a missed moment in time, and for me one of life's more colourful moments. Perhaps it was meant just for me.
