The Rainbow Connection

I love rainbows.

When I was growing up, I decided that rainbows would be my "thing" -- not that I could really collect rainbows, so to speak, but I loved to find rainbow-themed items. I had rainbow sheets on my bed, rainbow notebooks and one year I even made a giant paper rainbow to hang on the wall over my bed.

So whenever I see an actual rainbow, I have to stop and admire its beauty. And then take a picture if the camera is handy.

Last week we had some rain showers come through and we were treated to two double rainbows. One of them was even a full rainbow, but I couldn't capture the whole thing in one shot. (And of course the colors in the photo never do the actual rainbow justice.)

It's a beautiful world!

And I can't resist including a couple of my favorite sunrise pictures taken from my kitchen patio. One of my absolute favorite things about our house is the view!
