When is the last time you saw a rainbow?

Something got me thinking about rainbows.

Rainbows must have been magical to humans at some point. People also probably saw more rainbows, I think they were something to look for.

Something about the connection to the nature. Connection to the rain, the sun, the earth and the air.

I have been living in the forest for three years now, and still feel too disconnected from the nature. Reconnecting slowly, enjoying every moment of it.

A thunder storm is coming my way. It's always so resfreshing. Like a reset. Maybe there will be a rainbow.

Saw a faint double rainbow last week driving home from work. It was an odd one, very low in the sky, maybe only 1/3 of what a "normal" rainbow is.

a couple weeks ago, i made an unusual trip into town in early evening to go to a concert, right after a storm had passed through. for fully 90% of the 35 minute drive, i had recurring rainbows, including a big double when i was nearing my destination.

our weather just turned and there's been no sun (hard to make a rainbow with no sun) but I remember when I lived in New England, a rainbow was a Big Deal.
Here in South America, they're practically commonplace (when it's not winter...). They are still delightful, though!

The last time I was somewhere that had TV on:(

I saw a nice rainbow last week. My shop faces slightly North East so is perfect for rainbows caused by the setting sun. The showery, breezy weather we get sometimes apparently is perfect for rainbows, since you need rain, and breaks in the rain too.
They definitely are magical things though, since you can never get close to them.
