Seen at Home Depot

Dad went in to buy a new chainsaw, so I waited in the car. I happened to catch these adorable kids greeting a friend as they waited for their class to start.

On the other side of the car, I happened to catch this rainbow.

A sign of a good day.

Rainbow Colors of Autumn

I found this grove of autumn glory in Hood River and had to try to capture the colors and textures it presented. Shortly after the shot, the rain began pouring down ... of course we were walking!

And look what happened as soon as we got back in the car!

Rainbow at Dusk

I was finally on my way home from a long stormy day going back and forth, here and there ... longing to just be home and sit for a while. Suddenly the clouds parted and the sun blazed forth, sharing it's beauty with the clouds to form this token of promise -- the rainbow. It was, in fact, a double rainbow, and you can just barely make out the second one off to the right.

I had to get a picture, and nearly came to a dead stop in the middle of the street. I pulled over into a car dealership and, leaving a car full of open-mouthed and stunned family (I'm not usually an impulsive driver) -- I jumped out and started snapping pictures of this beauty. I didn't have time to try to find the perfect spot (without power lines, lamp posts, etc.); the rainbow was perfect and that's all that mattered.

Rainbow Time!

Cold winter morning
Clear blue sky
Hot fire in the stove
Coffee is perking
The sunrise is here
Look! It's Rainbow Time!

Rainbow net

The many colors of the rainbow revealed in the most unexpected of places ... a spider web, deep in the woods.

Look what you can find when you get up off the couch and look around! Even the smallest of nature's treasures can reveal great beauty ... can spark your imagination ... can color your world with rainbows!
