Alas, I don't have any really good rainbow photos. Maybe I'll attach a generic one to this post later.

Yes I do. They are rare. I love it more, when I don't have to have someone point them out to me, or lie and say I see it when I don't.

Heh. I enjoy seeing rainbows with kids, but I am usually alone (and driving) when I see them.

Yesterday was my first in a long time. Well, I guess that makes sense given that we hadn't had rain since something like February.

Some raibows are hard to capture adequately in photos. I may add a generic rainbow photo to this post, but it's not the same...

@TheHorse I have seen pictures of rainbows on the computer and they are really nice. It would be nice to see a photo with the post but if you cannot then that is ok too.

@t100068 I think it has to do with the wavelength of different colors.

I wonder when I figured out that that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow was some kind of metaphor.

The reason why the colors of the rainbows are distributed as they are is not something short and easy to explain, but you can find the answer to your question consulting Wikipedia. I like rainbows so much, that I "create" them watering the garden in the sun.

@t100068 The rainbow is formed by sunlight entering water droplet. When you water the garden if you get the correct angle, you can see a small rainbow where the light hits the water droplets.

That's interesting. How does watering the garden in the sun create rainbows?

I love seeing rainbows. I remember when I was on vacation in Maui, Hawaii a while ago there were double rainbows there. Wonder what causes that to happen.
