So lovely to see a rainbow trying to form, when the sky resists.
At first, I will show you the right-hand end of the rainbow, and no, I have never found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow :)
You can read here what is said about the idiom "Finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow"
Wait, wait, wait, I waited with a hope that the sky would cloud over, in order to reflect the rainbow in it's true colors, but as I said in the title, the sky simply didn't play ball with me on the day. Although I could get fairly good shots, of the two starting points of the rainbow, the middle presented me with a problem, as the sky simply decided to stay blue.
And here below was the left-hand side.
Now below you will see the full formation of the rainbow.
Finally, can you believe that from a blue sky, some raindrops hit my screen? Look at the little white dots in the photo below.
Mother Nature really tricked me on this day, as we were finished with work, and I had some time to go and sit and watch that rainbow forming. In my mind I saw the full and beautifully colored rainbow against the sky. While waiting, I always look around to see what else I can get on camera and to pacify me Mother Nature sent an African Fish Eagle over.
Just seeing this scarce bird, was heavenly and yes, Mother Nature indeed knows my first loves. So, I was happy even though the rainbow was a bit disappointing. It is a fact that we cannot always get what we want, and it reminds me of song by The Rolling Stones titled You can't always get what you want.
Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not: and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882).
Something to think about, as we were all created to be kind to each other.
I hope you have enjoyed the pictures and the story.
