Mother Nature's Rewards

We have had a fair bit of rain over the last few weeks, around 120mm ( nearly 5"). There have been times when the sun is out & then the clouds come scurrying across only to dump more rain. The result is that on occasions Mother Nature has rewarded us with some beautiful rainbows. The top one is viewed from my back balcony, over the gumtrees in the park.

This next one was taken out the windscreen of the car. I had been out to a textile exhibition opening in Western Sydney & was travelling home when this one appeared. At first it was only very short, and as I travelled further it grew until it spannned the sky. The colours were so vibrant, and at one stage it looked like it was landing on the bonnet of the car. I just had to stop the car and take this pic, though it does not do justice to the colours.

Rainbows have been rare over the last few years because of the drought. It is nice to see them again.

Mother Nature's Colours - The Rainbow

OK, OK, I know I said I may not be able to post much over the next little while, but I could not let this go past without sharing it. It has been another warm day & the storms have been predicted. No storms have eventuated as yet but the rain is around, and combined with the setting sun just a few minutes ago, Mother Nature has produced this beauty. The colours are not quite as vibrant in these pics as they were in reality, but I am sure you can all imagine. Rainbows have been rare lately , it has been so dry. This one was just so nice, be it seen through electrical wires.
