"I have set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth."
Last Monday, Vrghr was treated to this spectacular rainbow outside his office window! So colorful, wuff had to take a snap of it with the phone.
It's been a long time since this wuff had seen one this brilliant. And as a special treat, though somewhat difficult to see in the phone's image of it, if you look real hard next to the violet colored band where most rainbows stop their sequence of hues, you can see the colors faintly reversing as they're reflected in a mirror image!
Cool, eh?
Vrghr just thought he'd leave this here to brighten someone's day!
*HUGS*

We do seem to get them a bit more often here. Colorado is prone to getting rain clouds over the mountains while the plains still have blue sky and sunshine. So there's a good chance of sunlight onto falling rain somewhere about.
But normally those clouds tend to build during the afternoon with the sun's heat. And with the sun overhead, the colors and brightness of any rainbows are diminished from the sun coming down at them, instead of over your shoulder like a spotlight from behind you. And the light tends to get filtered by the "scud" blowing off the top of the clouds.
This one happened in late afternoon. The clouds and rain had moved off the mountains and out East. The sun was heading down, and in the newly cleared sky, didn't have any wisps left to obscure it as it shown on the wall of falling water. The storms were pretty heavy too, so lots of water there to make prisms.
Perfect conditions! And this was the result!

I'm kind of sorry I missed this one. Many, many years ago, when I was a newspaper carrier, my load, my bike and I got caught in a brief and drenching rainstorm, and I had to continue my route with the rain pouring down. I paused at one customer's house to hand the dry newspaper to her personally, and as I pushed away from the doorstep, the storm broke, the sun came out, and there was a beautiful rainbow arcing across the Eastern sky. I remembered bits of the biblical passage above and the Lord's promise of what the rainbow meant. Somehow, the sight gave me the courage to carry on and finish my route.
