Rainbow Watching
This morning I walked through a rainbow.
I woke up early because I am meeting a friend for coffee and I felt the need for some exercise beforehand. I live in a great neighborhood for walking–wide streets lined by lots of trees, rosebushes, and flouncing summery blooms.
About a half mile or so from my house is a botanical gardens. On the broad lawn outside the gates, right by the street, the sprinklers were watering the grass. The sprinklers are set to arc high and through their downward mist I could see a bright, intensely-colored rainbow. As I drew closer, I couldn't stop looking at it, and somehow (a trick of perspective, I'm sure) the rainbow grew until it was a perfect circle and I was right in the middle of it.
I was also too close to the sprinkler, and next thing I knew I was all wet.
But I didn't mind; I laughed. It was a good way to start the day.
Have a great weekend, everyone, and hey, look around for some rainbows. You never know.
Seek and ye shall find...
