rainbow, only the yellow, a bluish, and purplish, three bows in the rainbow could I see and while it was sprinking. I hope this is a good sign. I was coming back from getting my 2xs a month blood tests. I saw the half circle stretch across the sky. I often only see one end or the other. I saw the entire thing as I was driving home. Can you tell me about the last rainbow you saw? Where? When? colors? part or whole? Have you ever captured one in a picture? I never have. My avatar is a rainbow with a pot of gold. You can see it move on my profile page. The coolest rainbow I ever saw was between my neighbor's house and mine, the end landed in a field. The next coolest was when I looked out our livingroom picture window when I was a kid living at home and there was one out our window. So seen any good rainbows lately?

not lately, but we've seen so little rain lately! I think the best was as a child when it seemed to end just past a clump of trees behind the house - of course there was no pot of gold, but still very cool

it is very odd that a rainbow was that close, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't happen that often

That's cool that it looked so close. Ours look like they're miles away.

My rainbow was in 1995 traveling from Ipswich [Wich on old English means Port/water] Suffolk England to Saxmundam (translated means 'the place of the fighting Saxon [Germanic])and my girlfriend and I will travelling the A12 road saw a rainbow from horizon to horizon. Only once has this ever been in my long life.I do not know the meaning of life and stuff but such beauty is an act of 'God'.She moved to Atlanta Georgia and sadley my commitments were more local to me I failed to go.Two daughters without a mother, so we parted.She married I just waited, until 16 years later a knock on my door.'Hello do you remember me' 'Toy' (nickname no concatentions)so we have rekindled our love and await our day. Moral of the story is do wish on your Rainbow as its a link to Our Lord and all that is good and clean. My double rainbow did it for me, so look up the answer is there.{although you must be patient some miricles take a little time even with a double rainbow}. Tony Curry.

Yes I did and unfortunately I had forgotten my camera because it was a double rainbow and very bright and new. This was about 3 weeks ago and it was the same day I went to the store and told this woman about it as she was leaving and in turn she told me how a certain package of M&M's was only .27, (The big size, not individual) and so I bought a couple bags..lol

Hi! I have not seen a rainbow for a long time now. Even with all the rains and sunshine we get, I have not seen one since the last time. I can't even remember the last time I saw a rainbow. It's too sad when I think about it. I like looking at rainbows. They are one of the wonders of the sky that's really nice to watch. I have seen a lot of great rainbows in the past. I have seen double rainbows and they are totally awesome! There won't be just the two of them, but they will be huge. Another wonder is the circle rainbow I sometimes see around the moon. Yes, rainbows at night. I remember one time I saw one while I was walking near the lake. I was walking with my head up, I just couldn't stop staring at it.

They are beautiful to look at. I had to remember to keep glancing at the road. The hallow around the moon, I've never thought of as a rainbow. Maybe because I usually only see one color around it. Wish you had pictures. Thanks and take care.

I wish I had pictures, too! But I don't have any high-tech camera that could have captured that.

I haven't seen a rainbow in a while, the reflection in the ocean gives off those half rainbows but that is about it. The best rainbow I ever saw was a double rainbow one on top of the other, the top one though was only the top arch, it was interesting to watch it disappeared quickly though.

How does the adage go - never have one when you need one. The only thing I have that is just as fascinating as a rainbow is a sun halo something like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_(optical_phenomenon) it is interesting to see.

I haven't seen a rainbow in years! I used to see them alot when there was a storm up in the mountains. Neat to see them up in the mountains. I remember when I was kid and there had been a storm. Looking out the back door at Grandma's and seeing rainbows. What a sight!

A rainbow in the mountains sounds really cool. I wish people would take pictures and share. Yes, rainbows aren't very often. That's why when I see one, I feel really priveledged.

I went for a vacation about two weeks ago. We sailed through west coast shoreline, and was in for a storm the 2nd day we were at sea. On the third day, we docked at San Francisco. And just when were crossing the Golden Gate bridge, I saw a rainbow which welcomed us in San Francisco, and telling us that the storm of the previous day was over. It was brilliant!

Yes I did! But it doesn't translate very well in pictures. You'd have to really see it to appreciate it!

The last time I saw a rainbow was awesome! My daughter and I were driving around the edge of town toward the west and turned north, then we could see to the east the edge of a storm that we'd just driven out of. High above it, the sun was shining gold over everything and the storm was like a low, deep purple cloud. There was a bright, full rainbow between us and the storm. Neither of us had a camera with us, of course. I'll never forget that scene.

When I was driving to Arkansas this past July I was able to see a rainbow once during our drive up. I did not take a photo. I was miserably sick on the ride there, although I enjoyed watching it somehow was not up to photo taking as I usually am during our yearly trips. I will have to remember next July as we go up every year. Here it is rare that I would see them as during rainy times I am usually indoors.

I hope you felt better after you saw the rainbow. I hate being sick and riding. Not a great combination!
