 We recently had the most stunning rainbow.  It was actually a double rainbow, but I didn't get a picture of that.

I took a video of it!

But then my neighbor and I sat and talked about poop so I figured I better not share that.

Its so hard to see, but under the purple (indigo?) layer are two more purple rays… I tried to boost the colors and show you, but they are so naturally intense and bright they almost disappear in editing.  

You can almost distinguish how brilliant the sunlight is on the green trees against the dark stormy sky.

Rainbows never cease to amaze me.  I love the meaning behind them, love the vivid beauty of the colors, love the fact that it is the calm after the storm.

Did you know there are 89,100,000 google results for "i love rainbows"?

Guess I am not alone. 😉

  1. Gotta love a rainbow 🙂
    Fortunately we haven’t had so much rain as usual so not as many rainsbows – but I can cope!!!
    So, how are YOU?

  2. Well, after reading this post, I then clicked on the “you might also like” links below it–which led me to fabulous pictures of rainbow pancakes and cakes and a rather controversial discussion about rainbows in general. I wanted to tell you that I love your blogs–they are always inspiring, always humble, funny, and oozing of Christian love. I love the way you incorporate bright colors into your baking, and the photos always make me smile. Keep up the great work and never let the discouraging words of negative people get you down.

  3. Those pictures are beautiful. I always find rainbows to be so inspiring and pretty, but I never get a chance to capture it on film. Those colours are intense!

  4. I love rainbows too! After my mother’s internment (she wanted her ashes scattered over her favourite lake) and we returned to shore, we all went for a walk along the waterfront. A beautiful rainbow stretched across the horizon and my sisters and I all looked at one another and said *Mom* at the same time. Don’t see a rainbow today without thinking of her 🙂

  5. Beautiful, Amanda. I love God’s timing for rainbows too. 🙂 They always brighten my day. I hope all is well for your sweet family!

  6. beautiful amanda! It’s been awhile since i’ve visited you. life gets busy, right? 😉 the kids are adorable!
