A beautiful rainbow last night. It started to pour as we were getting ready to head to the beach for a walk.
I tried to talk us out of the walk, it's raining, I said. The sun is also out..she said.
Ok....
It was actually a beautiful night (ok, a little buggy), as we headed down, it poured and the sun was shining.
People scrambling from the beach, as we drove to our walking spot.
We started looking.
then we saw it.......
What is it about rainbows that makes everyone stop and look? Natural beauty...it feels like there is hope when you see a rainbow. The combination of a summer night, rain and sun and color.....
We drove into the parking lot. Usually pretty empty, but so many people were pulled over, just staring or trying to get that perfect picture. Somewhat surreal.....we got out of our car. My sister was already there and she was smiling, ok laughing. Someone was blasting Over the Rainbow.
We started our walk, away from the rainbow....and though we spent that walk talking and venting over work....we all were in a little better mood.....At the turnaround, we headed back, still watching the rainbow, changing color....slowly drifting away.
And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow.Gilbert K. Chesterton
