Rainbows

On Friday night when I left work it was pouring cats and dogs, and already quite dark. I drove down the main street of the Adelaide central business district on the way to Jamie's childcare centre. As I was waiting at the lights, I happened to glance up and.... look!

A double rainbow!!

Now you have to forgive the photo - I was on the main thoroughfare through the city, waiting at the traffic lights. They had turned green (can you see the green light there in the bottom RH corner? That was mine :). And I was scrabbling around in my handbag for my point and shoot camera. I had just a second to roughly point it in the direction of the rainbow and click the shutter. Of course, the darn thing has focussed on the raindrops on the windscreen!

I told myself I'd get a better shot when I got out the car at childcare but it had disappeared already by then. Lucky I got this one shot! Now that I've seen my Winter rainbow, I'm well and truly ready for Springtime. Only a couple weeks of Winter left! Yippee.

Thanks for your thoughtful comments on my last post. It wasn't meant to be a sad post; it was a sort of happy one, lol. It was a post about being open to the interpretation of your dreams. Because sometimes our dreams are answered, but the answers aren't in the form that we immediately recognise.

Hello to my visitors from le scrap de Carol! Thanks for stopping by :)

Its a great shot Kathie.... and infact I think you did well to capture it at all.
I LOVE a stormy sky....especially with a rainbow stretched across it like that.
I guess you are like me though....longing for some lovely spring weather..

Wow! A great photo Kathie. I am originally from Adelaide so can fully appreciate the radical weather you have over there.
I LOVE your work and you have inspired me to begin my own blog. Thanks for your great blog.
