I took this a couple of weeks ago and had forgotten about it. Hubby had been to the doctor on a rainy day. When he returned home he shouted through the kitchen door that there was a rainbow out front. I grabbed my camera and took out the front door. The rainbow was very low on the horizon. I thought about getting in my Jeep and driving to an open space but rainbows don't last long so I just stood on my front porch and shot through the trees.
I moved the camera to my right and this is what I saw. You can see in this photo just beyond the trees where it looks like the rainbow is almost touching the ground. As I looked at it I thought if I had been down under those trees I would standing in its glow.
Since St. Patrick's Day is Saturday it's fitting I should post these as a tribute to my Irish roots. My maternal ancestors can be traced back to 1667 in Londonderry, Ireland.
