Rainbow in Paradise
Jimmy Buffett sang the praises of a "Cheeseburger in Paradise" but I was recently treated to something not only less fattening but much more satisfying. Twice in three days my husband and I were delighted by the sight of a gorgeous rainbow following a late afternoon thunderstorm. Although not visible in this picture, there was a second rainbow trying to form just above this one.
Gazing at something as perfectly formed as this rainbow tends to bring back a remnant of the wonder children feel when something special appears in front of their eyes. Even as an adult you have wonder how the colors appear, not to mention the perfectly shaped arc. And there's the age -old question of what lies at the end of the rainbow. There may or may not be a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow but there is joy in Mother Nature's paintings .
